This patch adds support for measuring the number of polluting prefetches. Loosely defined, a polluting prefetch is one that evicts a useful block and is itself not useful. Such a prefetch incurs 2 units of traffic while increasing the number of misses by 1. It is meaningful then to distinguish polluting prefetches from useless prefetches, which do not increase the number of misses.
