[PATCH 4/4] MIPS: Allow L2 prefetch to be configured via debugfs

From: Paul Burton
Date: Tue Sep 22 2015 - 13:12:41 EST


When debugging or examining the performance of a system it can be useful
to examine the effect of L2 prefetching. Provide an optional debugfs
entry to allow a user to enable or disable L2 prefetching.
