+Description: Parameters for some Intel CPU's hardware prefetch control
+
+ This sysfs interface provides Hardware Prefetch control
+ attribute for some Intel processors. Attributes are only
+ present if the particular cache implements the relevant
+ prefetcher controls.
+
+ *_prefetcher_enable:
+ (RW) control this prefetcher's enablement state.
+ Read returns current status:
+ 0: this prefetcher is disabled
+ 1: this prefetcher is enabled
+
+ - Attribute mapping
+
+ Some Intel processors have MSR 0x1a4. This register has several
+ specifications depending on the model. This interface provides
+ a one-to-one attribute file to control all the tunable
+ parameters the CPU provides of the following.
+
+ - "* Hardware Prefetcher Disable (R/W)"
+ corresponds to the "hardware_prefetcher_enable"
+
+ - "* Adjacent Cache Line Prefetcher Disable (R/W)"
+ corresponds to the "adjacent_cache_line_prefetcher_enable"
+
+ - "* IP Prefetcher Disable (R/W)"
+ corresponds to the "ip_prefetcher_enable"

+Description: Parameters for A64FX's hardware prefetch control
+
+ This sysfs interface provides Hardware Prefetch control
+ attribute for the processor A64FX. Attributes are only
+ present if the particular cache implements the relevant
+ prefetcher controls.
+
+ stream_detect_prefetcher_enable:
+ (RW) control the prefetcher's enablement state.
+ Read returns current status:
+ 0: this prefetcher is disabled
+ 1: this prefetcher is enabled
+
+ stream_detect_prefetcher_strength:
+ (RW) control the prefetcher operation's strongness state.
+ Read returns current status:
+ weak: prefetch operation is weak
+ strong: prefetch operation is strong
+
+ Strong prefetch operation is surely executed, if there is
+ no corresponding data in cache.
+ Weak prefetch operation allows the hardware not to execute
+ operation depending on hardware state.
+
+
+ stream_detect_prefetcher_strength_available:
+ (RO) displays a space separated list of available strongness
+ state.
+
+ stream_detect_prefetcher_dist:
+ (RW) control the prefetcher distance value.
+ Read return current prefetcher distance value in bytes
+ or the string "auto".
+
+ Write either a value in byte or the string "auto" to this
+ parameter. If you write a value less than multiples of a
+ specific value, it is rounded up.
+
+ The string "auto" have a special meaning. This means that
+ instead of setting dist to a user-specified value, it
+ operates using hardware-specific values.
+
+ - Attribute mapping
+
+ The processor A64FX has register IMP_PF_STREAM_DETECT_CTRL_EL0
+ for Hardware Prefetch Control. This attribute maps each
+ specification to the following.
+
+ - "L*PF_DIS": enablement of hardware prefetcher
+ corresponds to the "stream_detect_prefetcher_enable"
+
+ - "L*W": strongness of hardware prefetcher
+ corresponds to "stream_detect_prefetcher_strength"
+ and "stream_detect_prefetcher_strength_available"
+
+ - "L*_DIST": distance of hardware prefetcher
+ corresponds to the "stream_detect_prefetcher_dist"
