 * The Module class template defines a standard internal interface between IPA
 * modules and libipa.
 *
 * While IPA modules are platform-specific, many of their internal functions are
 * conceptually similar, even if they take different types of platform-specifc
 * parameters. For instance, IPA modules could share code that instantiates,
 * initializes and run algorithms if it wasn't for the fact that the the format
 * of ISP parameters or statistics passed to the related functions is
 * device-dependent.
 *
 * To enable a shared implementation of those common tasks in libipa, the Module
 * class template defines a standard internal interface between IPA modules and
 * libipa. The template parameters specify the types of module-dependent data.
 * IPA modules shall create a specialization of the Module class template in
 * their namespace, and use it to specialize other classes of libipa, such as
 * the Algorithm class.
