[IA64] Speed up lfetch.fault [NULL]
This patch greatly speeds up the handling of lfetch.fault instructions
which result in NaT consumption. Due to the NaT-page mapped at address
0, this is guaranteed to happen when lfetch.fault'ing a NULL pointer.
With this patch in place, we can even define prefetch()/prefetchw() as
lfetch.fault without significant performance degradation. More
importantly, it allows compilers to be more aggressive with using
lfetch.fault on pointers that might be NULL.
