A little more detail.
rte_memcpy() was an attempt at optimization of memcpy().
With current compilers, rte_memcpy() and memcpy() end up producing close
to the same code; the only cases left where there is a difference is likely
because GCC is more pessemistic about alignment.
The plan is to get rid of rte_memcpy() all together.
