Implement a method similar to
Im2Col::pack_block
that packs the image using the different layout used by int8 kernels.On non-x64 systems there is an unnecessary u8 -> i8 -> u8 double conversion that happens because the
Conv
operator will receive the image in u8 format, it will create a copy in i8 format and then the kernel will re-convert back to u8 when packing. When a native u8 x u8 -> i32 GEMM is added in future, this can be avoided.TODO:
