Using memcpy() looks to be a good solution fix the issue, while avoiding a
branch and the __may_alias__.

I just have one minor comment below.

What do you think about this form:

	for (end = RTE_PTR_ADD(buf, RTE_ALIGN_FLOOR(len, sizeof(uint16_t)));

This also has the good property to solve the debate about the
spaces around the '/' :)
