Mem: Fix issue with prefetches originating at non-L1 caches getting stale data Prefetch requests issued from the L2 or below wouldn't check if valid data is present higher in the system. If a prefetch into the L2 occured at the same time as writeback from a higher-level cache the dirty data could be replaced in by unmodified data in memory.
