The documentation doesn't make it clear but rte_memcpy is the same as memcpy.
It only exists because for some cases (like older versions of Gcc and differences
in alignment assumptions) when running micro benchmarks rte_memcpy was faster.

All new code should only use memcpy() unless there is a benchmark test
that shows a noticable difference. The reason is that tools like Coverity, Gcc,
Clang, and PVS studio all treat memcpy specially and can do checks for
access outside of range.
