Fast cache tracking to support aggressive prefetching

A Bloom filter is used to track contents of a cache. A system checks the Bloom filter before deciding whether to prefetch an address (by hashing the address and checking a value of the Bloom filter at an index based on the hash). This allows the system to utilize more aggressive prefetching schemes...
