memcpy replaces the several single copies inside
dp_packet_clone_with_headroom().

I tested this change by comparing the CPU Time over a 60 sec analysis
with VTune.

In original ovs:
dp_packet_clone_with_headroom    4.530s

+ this changes:
dp_packet_clone_with_headroom    3.920s

Could you show some throughput results for a particular tests ?

[Antonio]
The only way I could test this change is with a setup that I was 
initially using on a modified firewall for learning purposes. 
I had added a normal action to the 1st rule below, this can't be 
a real scenario. I couldn't find a better test to involve the 
dp_packet_clone_with_headroom function, if anyone has some
suggestion is welcome.
Below some continuous tests results, ie bidir test with packets
sent at the line-rate. The Rx pkt rate is measured, without 
considering the packet loss.

	Test setup
	----------

table=0, priority=100,ct_state=-trk,ip actions=ct(table=1),NORMAL  <----
table=0, priority=10,arp actions=NORMAL
table=0, priority=1 actions=drop
table=1, ct_state=+new+trk,ip,in_port=dpdk0 actions=ct(commit),output:dpdk1
table=1, ct_state=+new+trk,ip,in_port=dpdk1 actions=drop
table=1, ct_state=+est+trk,ip,in_port=dpdk0 actions=output:dpdk1
table=1, ct_state=+est+trk,ip,in_port=dpdk1 actions=output:dpdk0

2 PMDs, bidir test, 64B UDP packets.

	Throughput results

	Perf comparison with 500 UDP connections

With perf top I am seeing the following difference on 
dp_packet_clone_with_headroom: from 0.95% -> 0.77%, 
below some details.

    [Antonio]
    The only way I could test this change is with a setup that I was 
    initially using on a modified firewall for learning purposes. 
    I had added a normal action to the 1st rule below, this can't be 
    a real scenario. I couldn't find a better test to involve the 
    dp_packet_clone_with_headroom function, if anyone has some
    suggestion is welcome.


[Darrell] I had the same issue; that is why I sent the e-mail (
                 This code change is an improvement regardless.
                 We should get patches 2-4 in.
                 I realize patch 1 still has discussion going on.


    Below some continuous tests results, ie bidir test with packets
    sent at the line-rate. The Rx pkt rate is measured, without 
    considering the packet loss.
