Description:
According to some sources from Intel PrefetchW Support for the Intel Core i7 processors was implemented within the Linux Kernel. This feature are already enabled on Microsoft Windows but not for the Arch Linux system. Could the developers enable the support for PrefetchW if they can for our Arch Kernel for the official repository?

Steps to reproduce:
