        The amax reduction process happens completely outside the FP8 modules.
        To participate in the reduction, the only role played by a module is
        to call this function in order to append it's FP8 tensor into a global
        buffer. There are 5 global buffers maintained, one each for amax, amax
        history, scale, scale-inverse, and non-weight-mask. Each buffer has
        keys that hold FP8 tensors. Keys have a `forward_` or `backward_` prefix
        to indicate the type of FP8 tensor, since the forward and backward
        reductions happen separately.

        Note: For CG capture, this method is called from the graphed
        wrapper. For non CG case, it's called from within the module.

    Parameters
    ----------
    enabled: bool, default = `True`
             when enabled, Transformer Engine modules created inside this `fp8_model_init`
             region will hold only FP8 copies of its parameters, as opposed to the default
             behavior where both higher precision and FP8 copies are present. Setting this
             option to `True` may result in lower memory consumption and is especially
             useful for scenarios like:

             * full model training using optimizer with master weights, where the high
               precision copies of weights are already present in the optimizer.
             * inference, where only the FP8 copies of the parameters are used.
             * LoRA-like fine-tuning, where the main parameters of the model do not change.
544
545
    recipe: transformer_engine.common.recipe.Recipe, default = `None`
            Recipe used to create the parameters. If left to None, it uses the default FP8 recipe.

547
548
549
550
551
552
553
    preserve_high_precision_init_val: bool, default = `False`
             when enabled, store the high precision tensor used to initialize FP8 parameters
             in CPU memory, and add two function attributes named `get_high_precision_init_val()`
             and `clear_high_precision_init_val()` to FP8 parameters to get/clear this high
             precision tensor. The purpose is that users can use this high-precision copy
             to initialize master weights, avoiding the loss of precision that can occur when
             using FP8 parameters directly. Note that after the master weights are initialized,
             users should call `clear_high_precision_init_val()` to release this CPU memory.

        Support for FP8 in the Linear layer of Transformer Engine is currently limited to tensors

        When :attr:`fp8_recipe.reduce_amax==True`, any module must not be invoked more than once

        reduction is handled during the exit of the `fp8_autocast` context. Calling the same
