Hi,

I must say: greate work.

I have some small comments:

Why not do { ... } while(0) or ({ ... }) ? This could have unpredictable side
effects.

Second:
Why you completely substitute
#define rte_memcpy(dst, src, n)              \
	({ (__builtin_constant_p(n)) ?       \
	memcpy((dst), (src), (n)) :          \
	rte_memcpy_func((dst), (src), (n)); })

with inline rte_memcpy()? This construction  can help compiler to deduce
which version to use (static?) inline implementation or call external
function.

Did you try 'extern inline' type? It could help reducing compilation time.
