ViperEkura d033b2ef0f perf: cache per-step decode tensor construction
- SamplingBatchInfo: sample params built once per task set (top_k int32, pinned async H2D)
- position_ids advances by +1 on steady-state decode instead of re-building
- DecodeBindCache: bind_tasks increments seq_lens/kv_indptr, reuses req_pool_indices
- saves ~240us of python/launch overhead per decode step

"""KV cache architecture: three-layer separation (SGLang-inspired).
Layer 1 — KVStorage: flat token-level K/V buffers [n_layers, size, H, D]
Layer 2 — ReqToTokenPool: index table [req_idx, pos] → physical token slot
Layer 3 — Allocator: slot/page allocation with ref-counting and LRU
PagePool orchestrates all three plus PrefixCache (content addressing).
KVCache is a pure dataclass passed to the model for direct buffer access.
Two modes:
- contiguous (default): pre-allocated per-request blocks, no dynamic alloc
- paged: shared pool with on-demand allocation, prefix caching support
