I was writing similar mbuf copy functionality  which is required for tcpdump feature.
But, It was brought to my notice that this patch with similar functionality already  exists, so I would like to take this patch and work on further.
Also, if you have any further code changes on this patch, would you please send  the latest one. I will work further.

Thanks,
Reshma
