    In JVM, two objects (or memory block) can't overlap each other (assuming 
the two offsets are in  valid range). The only case that src and dst could 
overlap is they are exactly the same value (pointer), so we can only compare 
the offsets.
    
    After this patch, we can use copyMemory() without worrying about the src 
and dst are overlapped or not, it always works.
