     * Launches an asynchronous execution on a prepared model.

     * The execution is performed asynchronously with respect to the caller.
     * execute must verify the inputs to the function are correct. If there is
     * an error, execute must immediately invoke the callback with the
     * appropriate ErrorStatus value, then return with the same ErrorStatus. If
     * the inputs to the function are valid and there is no error, execute must
     * launch an asynchronous task to perform the execution in the background,
     * and immediately return with ErrorStatus::NONE. If the asynchronous task
     * fails to launch, execute must immediately invoke the callback with
     * ErrorStatus::GENERAL_FAILURE, then return with
     * ErrorStatus::GENERAL_FAILURE.
     *
     * When the asynchronous task has finished its execution, it must
     * immediately invoke the callback object provided as an input to the
     * execute function. This callback must be provided with the ErrorStatus of
     * the execution.
     *
     * Multiple threads can call the execute function on the same IPreparedModel
     * object concurrently with different requests.
     *
     * @param request The input and output information on which the prepared
     *                model is to be executed.
     * @param callback A callback object used to return the error status of
     *                 the execution. The callback object's notify function must
     *                 be called exactly once, even if the execution was
     *                 unsuccessful.
     * @return status Error status of the call, must be:
     *                - NONE if task is successfully launched
     *                - DEVICE_UNAVAILABLE if driver is offline or busy
     *                - GENERAL_FAILURE if there is an unspecified error
     *                - OUTPUT_INSUFFICIENT_SIZE if provided output buffer is
     *                  not large enough to store the resultant values
     *                - INVALID_ARGUMENT if one of the input arguments is
     *                  invalid
