[VERIFIED] Hardware-tested native kernel integration

V1 paged_attention (decode ≤ 8192):
  Fix: head_mapping int→Tensor conversion.
  VERIFIED: matches manual attention, max diff < 0.001.
  Perf: 0.034ms (256 tok), 0.059ms (1K), 0.169ms (4K), 0.272ms (8K).

V2 paged_attention (decode > 8192):
  Native V2 kernel EXISTS (ixf_F.vllm_single_query_cached_kv_attention_v2)
  but produces INCORRECT output (diff=1.28 vs V1 on same data).
  Using Python V2 fallback (paged_attention_v2_pytorch.py) for now.
  The native V2 expects [B,H,bs,d] layout (confirmed) but the output
  values don't match even with correct layout conversion.

Prefill (flash_attn_func):
  VERIFIED: ixf_F.flash_attn_func(q, k, v, causal=True) works
  with head_dim=256 and GQA (num_kv_heads=4).
  Patched into xformers.py as first-attempt before _run_sdpa_fallback.

Triton: symlinked /usr/local/lib/ → /usr/local/corex/lib64/ for import.

patch_ixformer_native.py — Enable ixformer's native V1/V2 paged attention kernels
===================================================================================
patch_ixformer_native.py — Enable ixformer native kernels on BI-V100
=====================================================================
CRITICAL FIXES discovered from hardware diagnostics:
Hardware-verified fixes (2026-07-31):
1. V1 head_mapping: paged_attn.py passes num_kv_heads (int=4), but
ixformer_torch_ops.vllm_single_query_cached_kv_attention requires a Tensor.
The Tensor is: torch.repeat_interleave(torch.arange(num_kv_heads, device), num_queries_per_kv)
For Qwen3.6: [0,0,0,0,0,0, 1,1,1,1,1,1, 2,2,2,2,2,2, 3,3,3,3,3,3]
1. V1 paged_attention: head_mapping must be Tensor, not int.
Verified: V1 with Tensor head_mapping matches manual attention (diff < 0.001).
Performance: 0.034ms (256 tok), 0.272ms (8192 tok).
2. V2 native kernel EXISTS in ixformer (vllm_single_query_cached_kv_attention_v2)
but _custom_ops.py has raise NotImplementedError(). The V2 signature:
(output, partition, exp_sums, max_logits, temp_output, query,
key_cache, value_cache, head_mapping, scale, block_tables,
context_lens, block_size, max_context_len, alibi_slopes, use_sqrt_alibi)
Note: V2 has an extra 'partition' (int) parameter that V1 doesn't.
2. V2 paged_attention: native kernel EXISTS (vllm_single_query_cached_kv_attention_v2)
but produces INCORRECT output (diff=1.28 vs V1, norm mismatch).
The native V2 kernel expects different cache layout [B,H,bs,d] and even with
correct conversion, the output doesn't match V1 on the same data.
STATUS: Keep Python V2 fallback (paged_attention_v2_pytorch.py) for seq > 8192.
TODO: Investigate V2 native kernel parameter semantics.
3. Triton 2.3.1 is installed at /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/triton
but vllm (at /usr/local/corex/lib64/python3/dist-packages/vllm) says
"Triton not installed" — path mismatch.
3. flash_attn_func: WORKS with head_dim=256, GQA.
ixf_F.flash_attn_func(q, k, v, causal=True) produces correct output.
This should replace the Python _run_sdpa_fallback for prefill.
This patch fixes all three by modifying _custom_ops.py and the Triton import.
4. Triton: installed but vllm can't find it (path mismatch).
Fix: symlink + sys.path insertion.
