submission 695854

"""
Author: Leandro Emanuel Timberini

MLA decode submission for amd-mixed-mla.

The default path stays on the aiter fp8 decode kernel because remote profile
data showed that it is still the best honest baseline in this file.

This file also keeps experimental custom kernels behind explicit routing flags.
Those kernels remain here because they document the attacks already tried on
the main bottleneck and allow direct re-measurement without rebuilding the
whole submission from scratch.

The fallback torch path is kept only for correctness coverage on shapes or
formats that are not handled by the fast routes.
