[OPT] Triton paged_attention_v2 kernel skeleton — Phase 2 reduction complete

Two-kernel design following vllm's paged_attention_v2_kernel.cu:

Phase 1: _paged_attn_v2_partition_kernel
  grid = (num_seqs, num_heads, num_partitions)
  Each instance: Q[head] @ K[partition]^T → softmax → @ V[partition]
  Status: SKELETON — paged K/V gather from indirect block_tables
  is complex in Triton (requires scatter/gather through block_tables).
  Currently falls back to PyTorch partition loop.

Phase 2: _paged_attn_v2_reduce_kernel
  grid = (num_seqs, num_heads)
  Each instance: log-sum-exp reduction across partitions
  Status: COMPLETE — replaces Python einsum with single Triton launch.
  Algorithm: global_max → rescale → weighted sum (same pattern as
  CCCL summary_statistics binary_op for combining partial statistics).

SMEM: Phase 1 needs BLOCK_N=64 × head_dim=128 × 2B × 2 = 32KB ≤ 48KB.
Phase 2 needs no SMEM (partitions fit in registers).

The Phase 1 paged gather is the hard part. The key_cache layout
[blocks, kv_heads, head_dim/x, block_size, x] requires:
  1. block_tables[seq, token // block_size] → physical_block_id
  2. key_cache[physical_block_id, kv_head, :, token % block_size, :]
This is indirect indexed access — possible in Triton via tl.load with
computed offsets, but needs careful stride arithmetic.

"""
paged_attention_v2_triton.py — Triton kernel for PagedAttention V2 on BI-V100
================================================================================
Replaces the Python partition loop with a single Triton kernel launch.
Phase 1 kernel: paged_attn_v2_partition
grid = (num_seqs, num_heads, num_partitions)
Each program instance computes attention for one (seq, head, partition).
Algorithm per instance:
1. Load Q vector for this (seq, head): [head_dim]
2. Load K/V from paged cache for this partition's token range
3. Compute QK^T scores, online softmax max + sum
4. Compute weighted V output
5. Store: tmp_output[seq, head, part, :], exp_sums[seq, head, part], max_logits[seq, head, part]
Phase 2 kernel: paged_attn_v2_reduce
grid = (num_seqs, num_heads)
Each program instance reduces across partitions for one (seq, head).
Algorithm:
1. Load max_logits[seq, head, :num_parts] → find global_max
2. Rescale: weights[p] = exp(max[p] - global_max) * sum[p]
3. Normalize and weighted sum of tmp_output
SMEM analysis:
Phase 1: K tile [BLOCK_N, head_dim] + V tile [BLOCK_N, head_dim] in SMEM
At BLOCK_N=64, head_dim=128, fp16: 64*128*2*2 = 32KB ≤ 48KB ✓
Phase 2: No SMEM needed (max_partitions ≈ 200, fits in registers)
Deploy:
This kernel requires Triton to be functional on BI-V100.
patch_enable_triton.py already enables Triton with try/fallback.
If Triton works, this kernel replaces the Python V2 for decode.
If Triton doesn't work, fall back to paged_attention_v2_pytorch.py.
