biondizzle e0607c9e2f P0: Add fused_amax_quantize.cu kernel + CUDA module loader with compile-once caching
- fused_amax_quantize.cu: Single kernel launch computes amax → gsa → NVFP4 quantize
  Zero CPU-GPU syncs. gsa written to GPU buffer for downstream GEMM global_scale_a.
- dsv4/kernels/cuda/__init__.py: Module loader that compiles .cu once and caches.
  Eliminates JIT recompilation overhead (was ~100ms per call, ~500x per token).
- P1 audit corrected: layer-pipe at batch=1 is wrong, but single-GPU doesn't fit
  (800GB weights vs 192GB HBM). Correct fix is EP=8 for MoE + TP/replicate for dense.

"""CUDA kernel loader with compile-once caching.
Compiles .cu kernels on first call, caches the loaded module for subsequent calls.
Eliminates the JIT recompilation overhead from torch.utils.cpp_extension.load
being called on every kernel invocation (was ~100ms per call, called ~500x per token).
Usage:
from dsv4.kernels.cuda.loader import get_cuda_module
mod = get_cuda_module("fused_amax_quantize", ["fused_amax_quantize.cu"])
result = mod.fused_amax_quantize_nvfp4(x, divisor)
