     *
     * Application developers sometimes have specific requirements to ensure good user experiences,
     * and they need more information to make intelligent decisions when the Android framework cannot.
     * For example, combined with the device name and other information, the token can help
     * NNAPI applications filter devices based on their needs:
     *     - An application demands a certain level of performance, but a specific version of
     *       the driver cannot meet that requirement because of a performance regression.
     *       The application can blacklist the driver based on the version provided.
     *     - An application has a minimum precision requirement, but certain versions of
     *       the driver cannot meet that requirement because of bugs or certain optimizations.
     *       The application can filter out versions of these drivers.

     * Creates a prepared model for execution.

     * prepareModel is used to make any necessary transformations or alternative
     * representations to a model for execution, possibly including
     * transformations on the constant data, optimization on the model's graph,
     * or compilation into the device's native binary format. The model itself
     * is not changed.
     *
     * The model is prepared asynchronously with respect to the caller. The
     * prepareModel function must verify the inputs to the prepareModel function
     * are correct. If there is an error, prepareModel must immediately invoke
     * the callback with the appropriate ErrorStatus value and nullptr for the
     * IPreparedModel, then return with the same ErrorStatus. If the inputs to
     * the prepareModel function are valid and there is no error, prepareModel
     * must launch an asynchronous task to prepare the model in the background,
     * and immediately return from prepareModel with ErrorStatus::NONE. If the
     * asynchronous task fails to launch, prepareModel must immediately invoke
     * the callback with ErrorStatus::GENERAL_FAILURE and nullptr for the
     * IPreparedModel, then return with ErrorStatus::GENERAL_FAILURE.
     *
     * When the asynchronous task has finished preparing the model, it must
     * immediately invoke the callback function provided as an input to
     * prepareModel. If the model was prepared successfully, the callback object
     * must be invoked with an error status of ErrorStatus::NONE and the
     * produced IPreparedModel object. If an error occurred preparing the model,
     * the callback object must be invoked with the appropriate ErrorStatus
     * value and nullptr for the IPreparedModel.
     *
     * The only information that may be unknown to the model at this stage is
     * the shape of the tensors, which may only be known at execution time. As
     * such, some driver services may return partially prepared models, where
     * the prepared model may only be finished when it is paired with a set of
     * inputs to the model. Note that the same prepared model object may be
     * used with different shapes of inputs on different (possibly concurrent)
     * executions.
     *
     * Multiple threads may call prepareModel on the same model concurrently.
     *
     * @param model The model to be prepared for execution.
     * @param preference Indicates the intended execution behavior of a prepared
     *     model.
     * @param callback A callback object used to return the error status of
     *     preparing the model for execution and the prepared model if
     *     successful, nullptr otherwise. The callback object's notify function
     *     must be called exactly once, even if the model could not be prepared.
     * @return status Error status of launching a task which prepares the model
     *     in the background; must be:
     *     - NONE if preparation task is successfully launched
     *     - DEVICE_UNAVAILABLE if driver is offline or busy
