"""Fused W4A16 (AWQ/GPTQ-style asymmetric int4, group=128) GEMM for SM90. One kernel does everything: the packed int4 weights are streamed straight from HBM into registers in an mma-fragment-ready layout, unpacked with a single `lop3` per bf16x2, zero-point-corrected with one `sub.rn.bf16x2`, and fed to `mma.sync.aligned.m16n8k16.row.col.f32.bf16.bf16.f32`. The activation tile lives in shared memory for a whole K-chunk (the whole K when it fits), so the steady-state inner loop contains no barriers at all -- warps drift apart and cover each other's HBM latency. The per-group bf16 scale is folded into the fp32 accumulator once every 128 k (small M), or into the bf16 B fragment with one `mul.rn.bf16x2` (large M, where it halves register pressure and reproduces the reference's own bf16 rounding). Above M=64 that shape inverts. `mma.sync` tops out near half of what the card can do, so the large-M tile switches to `wgmma` with the operands transposed -- the dequantized weights stay in registers as the A operand and the activations become the smem B operand, which is the only arrangement where 25MB of int4 never round-trips through shared memory. It needs activations pre-permuted into descriptor order (one small pass over x, weights untouched), and it is twice as fast at M=256. Autotuning picks between the two per shape.
