[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 03/26] event/octeontx: introduce specialized mbox message copy

[Jerin Jacob]

Some of the internal toolchain versions create unaligned
memory access fault when copying from 17-31B buffer using memcpy.

Subsequent patches in this series will be using 17-31B mbox message.
Since the mailbox message copy comes in slow path, changing memcpy to
byte-per-byte copy to workaround the issue.
