MLA ragged prefill causal h16 qk192 vo128

20 eligible runs
mla-ragged

Batched Multi-head Latent Attention prefill with ragged (variable-length) inputs. Uses the absorbed MLA formulation with combined QK dimension (qk_nope=128 + qk_rope=64 = 192) and value output dimension 128. Causal mask is applied. Captured from DeepSeek-V3 during total prefill (no prefix cache) with tensor parallel size 8.

headroom-v1: a lower bound from declared tensors and datasheet peaks. A kernel can sit well above it for good reasons.
