 *
 * ML Device: A hardware or software-based implementation of ML device API for
 * running inferences using a pre-trained ML model.
 *
 * ML Model: An ML model is an algorithm trained over a dataset. A model consists of
 * procedure/algorithm and data/pattern required to make predictions on live data.
 * Once the model is created and trained outside of the DPDK scope, the model can be loaded
 * via rte_ml_model_load() and then start it using rte_ml_model_start() API.
 * The rte_ml_model_params_update() can be used to update the model parameters such as weight
 * and bias without unloading the model using rte_ml_model_unload().
 *
 * ML Inference: ML inference is the process of feeding data to the model via
 * rte_ml_enqueue_burst() API and use rte_ml_dequeue_burst() API to get the calculated
 * outputs/predictions from the started model.
 *
 * In all functions of the ML device API, the ML device is designated by an
 * integer >= 0 named as device identifier *dev_id*.
 *
 * The functions exported by the ML device API to setup a device designated by
 * its device identifier must be invoked in the following order:
 *
 *      - rte_ml_dev_configure()
 *      - rte_ml_dev_queue_pair_setup()
 *      - rte_ml_dev_start()
 *
 * A model is required to run the inference operations with the user specified inputs.
 * Application needs to invoke the ML model API in the following order before queueing
 * inference jobs.
 *
 *      - rte_ml_model_load()
 *      - rte_ml_model_start()
 *
 * A model can be loaded on a device only after the device has been configured and can be
 * started or stopped only after a device has been started.
 *
 * The rte_ml_model_info_get() API is provided to retrieve the information related to the model.
 * The information would include the shape and type of input and output required for the inference.
 *
 * Data quantization and dequantization is one of the main aspects in ML domain. This involves
 * conversion of input data from a higher precision to a lower precision data type and vice-versa
 * for the output. APIs are provided to enable quantization through rte_ml_io_quantize() and
 * dequantization through rte_ml_io_dequantize(). These APIs have the capability to handle input
 * and output buffers holding data for multiple batches.
 *
 * Two utility APIs rte_ml_io_input_size_get() and rte_ml_io_output_size_get() can used to get the
 * size of quantized and de-quantized multi-batch input and output buffers.
 *
 * User can optionally update the model parameters with rte_ml_model_params_update() after
 * invoking rte_ml_model_stop() API on a given model ID.
 *
 * The application can invoke, in any order, the functions exported by the ML API to enqueue
 * inference jobs and dequeue inference response.
 *
 * If the application wants to change the device configuration (i.e., call
 * rte_ml_dev_configure() or rte_ml_dev_queue_pair_setup()), then application must stop the
 * device using rte_ml_dev_stop() API. Likewise, if model parameters need to be updated then
 * the application must call rte_ml_model_stop() followed by rte_ml_model_params_update() API
 * for the given model. The application does not need to call rte_ml_dev_stop() API for
 * any model re-configuration such as rte_ml_model_params_update(), rte_ml_model_unload() etc.
 *
 * Once the device is in the start state after invoking rte_ml_dev_start() API and the model is in
 * start state after invoking rte_ml_model_start() API, then the application can call
 * rte_ml_enqueue_burst() and rte_ml_dequeue_burst() API on the destined device and model ID.
 *
 * Finally, an application can close an ML device by invoking the rte_ml_dev_close() function.
 *
 * Typical application utilisation of the ML API will follow the following
 * programming flow.
 *
 * - rte_ml_dev_configure()
 * - rte_ml_dev_queue_pair_setup()
 * - rte_ml_model_load()
 * - rte_ml_dev_start()
 * - rte_ml_model_start()
 * - rte_ml_model_info_get()
 * - rte_ml_enqueue_burst()
 * - rte_ml_dequeue_burst()
 * - rte_ml_model_stop()
 * - rte_ml_model_unload()
 * - rte_ml_dev_stop()
 * - rte_ml_dev_close()
 *
 * Regarding multi-threading, by default, all the functions of the ML Device API exported by a PMD
 * are lock-free functions which assume to not be invoked in parallel on different logical cores
 * on the same target object. For instance, the dequeue function of a poll mode driver cannot be
 * invoked in parallel on two logical cores to operate on same queue pair. Of course, this function
 * can be invoked in parallel by different logical core on different queue pair.
 * It is the responsibility of the user application to enforce this rule.
