"""
Optimized MLA decode kernel for MI355X.

DeepSeek R1 forward_absorb MLA: absorbed q (576), compressed kv_buffer (576),
output v_head_dim = kv_lora_rank = 512. Decode only (qseqlen=1).

Optimizations:
  1. mxfp4 Flash-Decoding (2-stage Triton) — 2x less HBM vs fp8;
     Stage1: Grid(batch, n_splits), MFMA attention on KV chunk → partial (acc,m,l)
     Stage2: Grid(batch,), online-softmax reduce over splits → final output
     No Q quantization needed (Q stays bf16) — entire pipeline in HIP graph
  2. HIP graph captures both stages — zero Python overhead on replay
  3. KV splits for occupancy — 256-1024 workgroups on MI355X (304 CUs)
  4. fp8 HIP graph fallback — if mxfp4 fails, aiter mla_decode_fwd in graph
  5. Per-config splits tables — tuned for 8 benchmark shapes
  6. Caches — metadata, graphs, and partial buffers reused across calls
  7. Fixed Q scale — amax computed once on first call; Q quant captured in graph
