FP8 attention QKV projection
FP8-quantized QKV projection for multi-head attention with Q/K RMSNorm normalization. Projects hidden states to query, key, and value tensors with blockwise FP8 quantization (1x128 for activations, 128x128 for weights), followed by RMSNorm on Q and K heads. Uses GQA pattern with 60 query heads and 8 key/value heads.
