## What does this PR do?
**Type of change:** ? <!-- Use one of the following: Bug fix, new
feature, new example, new tests, documentation. -->
new feature
**Overview:** ?
- This PR adds the sparse attention calibration algorithm
- Chunked prefill to support long ctx_len
- Separated calibration for prefill and decode
## Usage
<!-- You can potentially add a usage example below. -->
```python
import modelopt.torch.sparsity.attention_sparsity as mtsa
# Apply sparse attention with calibration
model = mtsa.sparsify(model, config=SKIP_SOFTMAX_CALIB)
# Print summary - now shows actual thresholds
mtsa.print_sparse_attention_summary(model)
# Output:
# Method: flash_skip_softmax, Threshold: Dynamic (λ=437.395926)
# Or llm_eval integration
# HuggingFace sparse attention example
python examples/llm_sparsity/attention_sparsity/hf_sa.py \

--sparse_attn skip_softmax_calib
```
# The calibration method
## Calibration Algorithm
- Implemented the Inverse Power model: scale_factor = k / (1 -
sparsity)^p
- Fit model parameters (k, p) per phase using scipy.optimize.curve_fit
- At inference: threshold = k / (1 - target_sparsity)^p / seqlen
## Why Choosing the Inverse Power model?
The inverse power model better fits the relationship between sparsity
ratio and threshold_scale_factor.

/>
## Runtime Flexibility
- Target sparsity can be changed at inference time without recalibration
- Users can adjust module._sparse_method_instance.target_sparse_ratio
dynamically
- Threshold automatically adapts to sequence length
## Testing
<!-- Mention how have you tested your change if applicable. -->
The calibration results for `Qwen/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Thinking-2507` are shown
below and are mostly consistent with the ground-truth numbers collected
from the kernel side.
```
Prefill Calibration Results:
Model: scale_factor = k / (1 - sparsity)^p
Fitted k: 1003.3990
Fitted p: 1.2589
R-squared: 0.827549
Scale factors for different target sparsities:

80% 7610.98
90% 18214.70
