"""
Optimized MLA decode kernel for AMD MI355X.

Optimizations over reference:
1. Cache metadata buffers — avoid re-allocating per call
2. Cache kv_indices — avoid torch.arange per call
3. Pre-allocate output tensor — reuse across calls
4. Config-adaptive NUM_KV_SPLITS — tune per batch/kv_len
5. Fused Q quantization — fewer kernel launches
