server: optionally evict the KV cache too (Phase 2 of VRAM sharing)
Extend on-demand device residency to the KV cache so that when a model's KV plus another model would not fit in VRAM, the KV can also be evicted to a host shadow (D2H on release, H2D on restore) instead of only the weights. - llama_memory_i: add release_device_buffers()/restore_device_buffers() (default no-op). Implemented in llama_kv_cache (D2H shadow of the live ctxs_bufs, freed and reallocated like the weights); llama_memory_hybrid and llama_kv_cache_iswa delegate to their child caches. - llama_context::release_device(evict_kv): also evict the memory's device buffers when requested; restore_device() rebuilds them. Public API llama_context_release_device gains an evict_kv flag. - server: LLAMA_SLEEP_EVICT_KV=1 enables it. Off by default (weights-only), since the KV shadow adds a D2H/H2D copy of the live cache each cycle. Validated on RX 580 (Vulkan), 4B @ 32k ctx: weights-only cold VRAM 1750 MB (KV stays); weights+KV cold VRAM 726 MB (KV freed, ~1 GB reclaimed). KV survives the round-trip: prompt cache reused after the cycle (prompt_n 4 vs 42), correct output. Assisted-by: Claude
