Stage 42: Zero-allocation hot path + torch.compile FP8 quant
Key improvements over stage 41:
1. Pre-cache kv_indices per total_kv (eliminates torch.arange every call)
2. Pre-cache kv_last_page_len per (batch_size, kv_len) (eliminates subtraction+cast)
3. Pre-cache kv_4d view per total_kv (eliminates .view() call)
4. Pre-cache q_fp8 buffer per total_q (eliminates allocation)
5. Pre-cache q_scale buffer (reuse scalar tensor)
6. torch.compile on FP8 quantization (fuses amax+scale+clamp+cast)
7. Tighter split tuning from empirical profiling
The hot path after warmup should be:
- 1 compiled CUDA kernel for FP8 quant (fused)
- 1 metadata lookup (dict)
- 5 cached tensor lookups
- 1 aiter assembly kernel call
