java 14 and JEP 370: Foreign-Memory Access API-- Array Of Bytes.

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Yeah - I now realize I did not reply to the original question.

The way to go to do bulk access is to use the MemoryAddress::copy API, 
as shown in the email from Henry.

That is:

1) create an on-heap segment backed by a byte[]
2) copy portions of the off-heap segment into the on-heap segment using 
MemoryAddress:copy
