6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sequence descriptor includes the trigger address, a size of the sequence of address translations, and a stride length size, wherein the size of the sequence of address translations defines a range of addresses for which address translations will be pre-fetched, wherein the size of the sequence of address translations is divided into stride length regions of the stride length size, and wherein the sequence descriptor describes one address translation request per stride length region.
