The memcpy is neglectable and the patching happens only in a few
cases (at least vs the packing function call). The VSC7514 CPU is really
slow and lead to 2.5% up to 5% time spent in packing() when using iperf3
and depending on the use case (according to ftrace).

I will make another round of measure to confirm my previous number and
check the impact on the injection rate on ocelot.
