### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR fixes Minimax model loading in vLLM Ascend backend by:
Adding model type check for "minimax" and "minimax_m2" to replace "mlp"
prefix with "block_sparse_moe"
Implementing special handling for Minimax expert layer naming
conventions
Adding Minimax configuration to packed_modules_model_mapping for proper
qkv_proj and experts module handling
Without these changes, Minimax models fail to load on Ascend devices due
to incompatible layer naming and module packing.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Yes. Users can now successfully load and run Minimax models on Ascend
hardware with vLLM. This enables inference capabilities for this model
family on Ascend devices.
### How was this patch tested?
Local Testing:
Verified model loading for minimax-xxx and minimax_m2-xxx model variants
on Atlas 800I A2 hardware
Tested inference with sample prompts using vLLM's OpenAI-compatible API
server
Benchmark Validation:
Compared throughput and latency metrics against GPU baseline
Verified memory usage stays within expected limits for different batch
sizes
Tested multi-card inference scenarios with tensor parallelism
- vLLM version: v0.13.0
