  [JSC] Manually pipeline memory fetching for GC marking
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318297
rdar://181088818

Reviewed by Keith Miller and Dan Hecht.

In GC marking, the highest cost comes from marking a large graph, and it
is bound by a cache miss for each GC-managed cell.

This patch adds manual pipelining of cell prefetching. We keep the one
next cell pointer and issuing a prefetch while handling the current cell
so that prefetch can be in flight while handling the current cell,
reducing a stale by pipelining the memory access.
