Nope, no problems in practice. I just noticed this discrepancy when
working on something else.

The spec section 4.1.5 says that an implementation can either ignore the
reserved fields or raise CERROR_ILL. The SMMU in our board is kinder and
just ignores those fields, but some other implementations might not.

So if the caller does initialise size and addr, they would either not
take effect or would cause an CERROR_ILL. Either way, not the desired
behaviour.

I don't have a use case for PREFETCH_ADDR. So how about removing addr
and size for now? It would avoid silent (or not-silent, depending on the
SMMU) failures in the future. If someone wants, they can easily add them
back.

Just as soon as we get some spare ones :)
