Subject: [PATCH] accel(ixformer): add BI-V100 hardware op wrappers + silence
 corex warnings
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Confirmed via SSH on real BI-V100 machine (Aug 8):
- corex_gdn.py / corex_moe.py / libcorex_gdn.so do NOT exist in base image
- Sub168 PACKAGED THEIR OWN corex modules in their Docker image
- ixformer IS available with: matmul, softmax, rms_norm, flash_attn_func,
  conv2d, silu_and_mul, fused_add_rms_norm, gemv
- Zero topk/moe/expert ops in ixformer → MoE stays PyTorch

Added:
- _ix_matmul, _ix_bmm, _ix_softmax wrappers with fallback
- ixformer import probe (replaces fake corex probe)
- Silenced corex ImportError warnings (expected, not errors)

Priority now: max_model_len=80000 + NaN clamp → engine starts → functional tests pass
