The product variable "PrefetchFieldsAhead" is defined in gc_globals.hpp and set in vm_version_[x86|sparc].cpp. But it's not used anywhere, and probably hasn't been since at least JDK 1.5 (I couldn't find a use in JDK 6 anyway).
There is a related getter "prefetch_fields_ahead()" in vm_version_[x86|sparc].hpp that should also be removed.
