vxge: prefetch RxD descriptors
This patch prefetches RxD descriptors which helps to lower the latency of a
cache miss in vxge_hw_ring_rxd_next_completed. This lowers the % of CPU
time used by vxge_hw_ring_rxd_next_completed() where the descriptor is
accessed in profiling netperf on a P4 Xeon from 1.5% to 1.0%.
