2010-06-09  Changpeng Fang  <changpeng.fang@amd.com>

	* tree-ssa-loop-prefetch.c (PREFETCH_MOD_TO_UNROLL_FACTOR_RATIO) :
	Change the PREFETCH_MOD_TO_UNROLL_FACTOR_RATIO threshold value from
	8 to 4.  Minor change of the related comments.

 /* Do not generate a prefetch if the unroll factor is significantly less
