[FA4][SM100] Support head_dim=256 with seqused_k for paged varlen attention
## Summary ### Agent Notes FA4's SM100 `head_dim=256` forward specialization rejects `seqused_q` / `seqused_k`. This blocks Qwen3.5-9B inference through PyTorch's `torch.nn.attention.varlen.varlen_attn_out` in vLLM, where causal paged KV attention supplies `block_table` and...
[Bug][CPU] GLM-5.x (glm_moe_dsa) cannot run on CPU: sparse attention forced by config, no way to disable
## Environment - vLLM version: v0.28.0 - Platform: Apple Silicon (M3), macOS 15.7.4, CPU backend - HF transformers: 5.16.1 - Model: `zai-org/GLM-5.2` (`glm_moe_dsa` / `GlmMoeDsaForCausalLM`) ## Bug Any GLM-5.x model (DSA / sparse-attention architecture) fails during engine...
