> 
> This test has tables of data that get copied with rte_memcpy.
> But when compiled without always inline the compiler gets confused
> by the inlining of rte_memcpy and thinks that it is possible for AVX
> code to reference past the input data.
> 
> Workaround is to use memcpy() which is better for this test anyway
> since regular memcpy has more static checking from compiler and
> analyzers.
