Chenjie LuoandClaude Opus 5 b16356776b Build the GGML IQ packing kernels as a single CUDA extension (#2462)
### What does this PR do?

Type of change: Code refactoring

`#2448` added the GGML IQ packing kernels as **two** torch extensions,
`modelopt_cuda_ext_iq1_s` and `modelopt_cuda_ext_iq2_xs`. This merges
them into one,
`modelopt_cuda_ext_ggml`.

The existing per-extension split in `extensions.py` exists for reasons
that don't apply
to the IQ formats: `get_cuda_ext` gates on CUDA `>=11` while
`_fp8`/`_mx` gate on
`>=11.8`, and `_mx` needs `--use_fast_math`, which must not reach the
base `tensor_quant`
kernels. `get_cuda_ext_iq1_s` and `get_cuda_ext_iq2_xs` differed in none
of that —
same `>=11.8` gate, same `-O3` flags, same `common.cuh` — so the split
only compiled the
shared header twice, ran nvcc twice, and grew the loader, `__getattr__`,
and
`precompile()` once per format. With IQ2_XXS / IQ3_S / IQ4_NL plausibly
following, that
scales badly.

Changes:

- New `ggml/ggml.cpp` holds both host-side validation wrappers and the
single
`PYBIND11_MODULE`, binding `iq1_s_pack` and `iq2_xs_pack` (previously
each module
exported a bare `pack`). Deletes `ggml/iq1_s.cpp` and `ggml/iq2_xs.cpp`;
the
  validation logic and docstrings carry over unchanged.
- `get_cuda_ext_iq1_s` + `get_cuda_ext_iq2_xs` → `get_cuda_ext_ggml`,
which builds
`ggml.cpp`, `iq1_s.cu`, and `iq2_xs.cu` together. The
retry-on-`raise_if_failed`
  semantics of the old getters are preserved.
- Each format keeps its kernels in its own translation unit, so adding a
format is a new
`.cu` plus one `module.def` — no new extension, loader, or
`precompile()` line.

No caller outside `extensions.py` and its tests referenced the old
getters on `main`, so
nothing else changes. **Note for the follow-up PRs in the `#2448` series
(`#2446`/`#2447`/`#2449`): the codec layer should call
`get_cuda_ext_ggml().iq1_s_pack(...)` / `.iq2_xs_pack(...)` instead of
`get_cuda_ext_iq1_s().pack(...)` / `get_cuda_ext_iq2_xs().pack(...)`.**

### Usage

```python
from modelopt.torch.quantization.extensions import get_cuda_ext_ggml

ext = get_cuda_ext_ggml(raise_if_failed=True)
iq1_s_payload = ext.iq1_s_pack(weight, iq1s_grid)            # uint8 [numel / 256, 50]
iq2_xs_payload = ext.iq2_xs_pack(weight, iq2xs_grid, scales) # uint8 [numel / 256, 74]
```

### Testing

Ran on a single H200 NVL (TRT-LLM `1.3.0rc27.dev202609170000`
container), building the
merged extension from scratch:

- `pytest tests/gpu/_extensions/test_torch_extensions.py` — **24
passed** (6:44). This
is the full existing IQ suite (zero-block layout, encode, dtype
rejection,
row-straddling rejection, invalid/negative-zero scales, byte-exact dtype
equivalence,
and the brute-force optimality round-trip) reparametrized onto the
merged module,
  plus the untouched `modelopt_cuda_ext` / `_fp8` / `_mx` load tests.
- Verified `precompile()` loads all four extensions and that the merged
module exports
  exactly `iq1_s_pack` and `iq2_xs_pack` with the expected arities.
- Off-GPU: compiled the three sources directly and linked them into one
`.so` to confirm
no duplicate-symbol collisions between the two `.cu` translation units.
- `pre-commit run --files ...` passes on all changed files (ruff, mypy,
clang-format,
  bandit, license headers).

### Before your PR is "*Ready for review*"

- Is this change backward compatible?: ✅ — the removed getters were
added in `#2448`
(merged today, unreleased) and have no callers outside this file's own
tests.
- If you copied code from any other sources or added a new PIP
dependency, did you follow guidance in `CONTRIBUTING.md`: N/A — no new
code or dependencies; the moved wrappers keep their original
attribution.
- Did you write any new necessary tests?: ✅ — existing coverage
reparametrized onto the merged module; no behavior change to test.
- Did you update
[Changelog](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/blob/main/CHANGELOG.rst)?:
N/A — internal refactor of an unreleased, not-yet-wired-up API.
- Did you get Claude approval on this PR?: ❌ — not yet run.

### Additional Information

Follow-up to #2448. Merge before the remaining PRs in that series
(#2446, #2447, #2449)
land, so the codec layer is written against `get_cuda_ext_ggml` and no
rename is needed
afterwards.
