- v357: v354 without CDNA4 env vars (may hurt on ROCm 7.1).
- Only HIP_FORCE_DEV_KERNARG=1 (HIP runtime level, not LLVM).
+ isa_v573: Multi-attack breakthrough attempt.
+ Attack A: Non-power-of-2 SplitK (SK=7 for shape 2, K=7168/7=1024 per split = exact division!)
+ Attack B: Pre-quantized A cache (skip quant on repeated calls with same A data)
+ Attack C: AITER deep probe (print all APIs to stderr)
+  
+ KEY INSIGHT: v439 rounds SK to power-of-2 (line 290), forcing SK=7→8.
+ SK=7 gives EXACT K-division: 7168/7=1024, with BK=512 → 2 iters per split.
+ SK=7 × 33 N-tiles = 231 WGs — excellent CU utilization on 256 CUs.
