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%.
