### What this PR does / why we need it?
This pr is for https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/issues/3241 ,
which is in-house solution for offloading KV cache data from the GPU
memory to other medium (in particular, CPU memory)。Previous solutions
required reliance on third-party components, which had issues with
compatibility between different versions.
### How was this patch tested?
use the following script for testing:
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
export TP=1
export MODEL_PATH=/model/Qwen3-14B
export MODEL_NAME=Qwen3-14B
export PORT=10000
#export ASCEND_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1
#export ASCEND_SLOG_PRINT_TO_STDOUT=1
python3 -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server --host 0.0.0.0 --port
${PORT} --dtype bfloat16 --model ${MODEL_PATH} --served-model-name
${MODEL_NAME} --tensor-parallel-size ${TP} --gpu-memory-utilization 0.7
