 *   - likely(expr)         - branch predicition optimization - is more likely
 *                          that expr value will be 1 so optimize for this 
 *                          case.
 *                          Example: if (likely(p!=NULL)) {... }
 *   - unlikely(expr)       - branch prediction optimization - is unlikely that 
 *                          expr will be true, so optimize for this case
 *   - prefetch(addr)        - will prefetch addr. for reading
 *   - prefetch_w(addr)      - will prefetch addr. for writing
 *   - prefetch_loc_r(addr, loc) - prefetch for reading, data at addr has
 *                                no temporal locality (loc==0), a short
 *                                degree of temporal locality (loc==1), 
 *                                moderate (loc==2) or high (loc==3).
 *                                prefetch(addr) is equiv. to 
 *                                prefetch_loc_r(addr, 3).
 *  prefetch_loc_w(addr, loc) - like above but for writing.
