Given the default value of these config variables, the maximum `disp` would be `3*CacheLineSize + max(3,1) * CacheLineSize` which is (on most platforms) 384 bytes. If you max-out the number of lines to prefetch, you'd get `3*CacheLineSize + 64 * CacheLineSize` or 4288 bytes which indeed requires more than 12 bit of storage.

Fixed.
