The fallback is to just ignore the arguments. That is a valid implementation because this intrinsic is just a hint.

I also added the miri::intrinsic_fallback_is_spec annotation, so that miri now supports these operations. A prefetch intrinsic call is valid on any pointer. (specifically LLVM guarantees this https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-prefetch-intrinsic)

Next, I made the LOCALITY argument a const generic. That argument must be const (otherwise LLVM crashes), but that was not reflected in the type.

Finally, with these changes, the intrinsic can be safe and const (a prefetch at const evaluation time is just a no-op).

Some changes occurred to the intrinsics. Make sure the CTFE / Miri interpreter
gets adapted for the changes, if necessary.

Why don't you use to_i32()?

Weird, I suspect my autocomplete only showed the unsigned versions? Or I missed the signed versions when looking through the docs somehow.

Anyway, to_i32 would be better, but also only the values 0..4 are supported.
