"""
Optimized stateless MLA decode kernel for MI355X.
Target: sub-50μs from ~127μs baseline.

Key optimizations over baseline:
1. Tighter num_kv_splits heuristic — avoids over-splitting small batches
2. Fused FP8 quantization using mul+clamp in one expression (fewer kernels)
3. kv_4d view deferred — avoids spurious contiguity check on large buffer
4. kv_granularity fast-path: power-of-2 aligned to 16/32/64 with no branch overhead
5. kv_last computed via torch.diff (faster than manual sub)
6. q reshaped once before FP8 cast to avoid double reshape at kernel launch
7. Blind pool expansion sized to 512MB for larger coverage
