I also checked in the get_bulk() function, which looks like that:

	/* Now fill in the response ... */
	for (index = 0, len = cache->len - 1;
			index < n;
			++index, len--, obj_table++)
		*obj_table = cache_objs[len];

I think we could replace it by something like:

	rte_memcpy(obj_table, &cache_objs[len - n], sizeof(void *) * n);

The only difference is that it won't reverse the pointers in the
table, but I don't see any problem with that.

What do you think?
