Review comment:
@giuseros,
It is "vector size" of a specific machine, but can vary from "machine" to
"machine".
* From HW point ```lanes``` are registers (N x 32bit) where data products
```num_int8``` accumulates after multiplications.
* I.E. case of ARM & Intel, the design is: 16 lanes (16 registers) where 4
multiplies (instant ones) accumulates into each.
Now e.g. MARLANN uses 2 lanes, each one accumulating 8 multiplies, see:
[ISA](https://github.com/SymbioticEDA/MARLANN/blob/master/docs/isa.md)
Furthermore, working on a more generic HW accelerator where design may be
parametrizable: ```lanes```, ```macs```.
**Goal:** would like to reuse existing TVM routines as templates, but
without the hard coded lanes/macs .
