ViperEkura 4dc5e923e0 perf: finalize fp8 scale rings inside quantize kernels
- last-block epilogue (threadfence + counter elect) folds amax into hist[idx], reduces the window and publishes the next scale on device — zero extra launches per linear layer
- _ScaleRing packs [hist | scale | counter] into one CUDA buffer; the eager hist-write / max / scale-copy chain and update() are gone
- split FP8QuantizeParams out of FP8Params so each operator owns its fields; linear_forward/backward_fp8 take optional ring arguments
- e2e 12L/dim1024/B4xT512 (fused AdamW): fp8 137.8ms/step vs bf16 210.3ms, 1.53x; fwd 1.82x, bwd 1.50x

"""FP8 CUDA kernel interface adapter (the only module touching the pybind).
Isolates the ``fp8_ops`` CUDA extension behind stable Python primitives:
- ``quantize_bf16(x, scale, fmt) -> (x8, amax)`` — BF16 → FP8 with fused amax
- ``mm_fp8(a8, b8, sa, sb) -> out`` — pre-quantized FP8 GEMM (BF16 output)
- ``linear_forward_fp8(x, w, bias, sx, sw) -> (out, amax_x, amax_w)``
- ``linear_backward_fp8(g, x, w, masks, sg, sw, sx, fmt) -> (gx, gw, gb, amax_g)``
Scale semantics: scales are *quantization steps* — the value divided out when
quantizing (``x8 = x / scale``). Every primitive computes its own inverse
internally; callers never pass ``scale_inv``. ``amax`` values are *returned*,
never passed as output arguments. ``fmt`` is ``"e4m3"`` or ``"e5m2"``.
Policy (scales, amax history, delayed scaling, autocast) lives in ``fp8.py``;
this module is stateless.
