Claude 52e2ef31a8 feat: xllm_ops NO-FALLBACK kernel loader + 6 missing .so build targets + hot-path patcher
Build infrastructure:
- build_xllm_kernels.sh: add 5 missing build targets (norm, rope, activation, cache, moe)
  Previously only built xllm_fused_qknorm_rope.so, now builds all 6 .so files

Kernel loader (xllm_ops.py):
- NO-FALLBACK architecture matching xllm/core/kernels/ilu/ dispatch chain
- Loads: xllm_norm.so, xllm_rope.so, xllm_activation.so, xllm_cache.so,
         xllm_moe.so, ix_full_bridge.so, xllm_fused_qknorm_rope.so
- check_all(strict=True) verifies ALL .so at startup

Hot-path patcher (patch_vllm_hot_path.py):
- Monkey-patches vllm._custom_ops to route through xllm .so
- Critical fix: topk_softmax patch prevents comp 168 cascade
- Patches: topk_softmax, rms_norm, silu_and_mul, rotary_embedding, reshape_and_cache

Source mapping: xllm/core/kernels/ilu/*.cpp -> our xllm_*.so files

patch_vllm_hot_path.py — Wire xllm kernel .so into vllm hot path
Architecture (matching xllm/core/layers/ilu/ dispatch chain):
xllm C++ call chain:
qwen3_5.h → decoder_layer.forward()
→ layers/ilu/attention.cpp → kernels/ilu/attention.cpp → ixformer::infer
→ layers/common/rms_norm.cpp → kernels/ilu/norm.cpp → ixformer::infer
→ layers/common/activation.cpp → kernels/ilu/activation.cpp → ixformer::infer
→ layers/ilu/fused_moe.cpp → kernels/ilu/fused_moe.cpp → ixformer::infer
Our Python equivalent:
qwen3_5.py → Qwen3_5ForCausalLM.forward()
→ patch_vllm_hot_path → xllm_ops → xllm_*.so → ixformer::infer
→ corex_moe.py → ix_full_bridge.so → ixformer::infer
This module patches vllm at import time. Call apply() from patch_ops.sh.
Patches applied (matching xllm/core/kernels/ilu/ exactly):
1. vllm._custom_ops.topk_softmax → xllm_ops.topk_softmax
2. vllm model RMSNorm → xllm_ops.rms_norm
3. vllm model SiluAndMul → xllm_ops.silu_and_mul
4. vllm model RotaryEmbedding → xllm_ops.rotary_embedding
5. vllm attention reshape_and_cache → xllm_ops.reshape_and_cache
6. vllm attention paged_attention → xllm_ops.paged_attention
NO FALLBACK. If xllm_ops can't load, we crash early rather than
silently falling back to PyTorch (which gives 683 score).
