prefetch is virtually addresses. An application would need access
to /dev/mem or similar. So the only folks I think it might
actually bite are the Xserver people.
depends, maybe it depends on what part of the northbridge it
traverses, so it may only affect RAM and not PCI/AGP memory
it should be possible to write a test program that uses /dev/mem to
test for this is someone has a buggy MB (or wants to send me one,
I'll gladly do it -- my MBs work perfect it seems)
