Zhihong sent a patch about rte_memcpy, From the patch,
we can see the optimization job for memcpy will bring obvious perf improvements
than glibc for DPDK.
http://www.dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/17753/
git log as following:
This patch is tested on Ivy Bridge, Haswell and Skylake, it provides
up to 20% gain for Virtio Vhost PVP traffic, with packet size ranging
from 64 to 1500 bytes.
thanks
Zhiyong
