"""
Optimized MLA decode attention kernel.

Optimizations over reference (fp8 Q + fp8 KV, a8w8):

1. bf16 Q + fp8 KV (a16w8) path: eliminates Q quantization entirely on
   gfx950/gfx942. The decode workload is KV-memory-bound, so skipping
   the Q quant overhead (~5us of kernel launches) helps at all batch sizes.

2. Persistent-mode metadata caching: get_mla_metadata_info_v1 +
   get_mla_metadata_v1 allocate 6 GPU tensors and fill them with scheduling
   data. We cache these keyed by (batch_size, total_kv, dtypes) and reuse
   across calls with the same config, saving ~10us per call.

3. kv_indices / kv_last_page_len caching: eliminates redundant torch.arange
   and tensor subtraction per call (~1-2us savings).

4. Output tensor caching: reuse pre-allocated output buffer for the same
   total_q, avoiding torch.empty allocation overhead (~1us savings).

5. Fused FP8 quantization fallback: uses aiter.scaled_fp8_quant (single CUDA
   kernel) instead of the manual 5-kernel implementation when a16w8 is
   unavailable.
