As of know the prefetch and demand requests are treated equally after 
the L1 cache. I have not done any experimentation on how the prefetch 
traffic affects demand traffic. While we can treat them differently, 
I think we should keep things simple to begin with. Over time, I expect 
protocols would change to adapt better.
