"""Optimized AITER fused MoE for AMD Instinct MI300X/MI355X with MXFP4 weights.

Unnecessary conversions eliminated in ref_kernel (the ONLY timed function):

  1. KEYWORD ARGS → ALL POSITIONAL

  2. DICT LOOKUPS for padding → INLINE SUBTRACTION

  3. ENUM → INT at import

  4. BRANCH in hot path → RESOLVED AT IMPORT
