release_device_weights()/release_device_buffers() leave a null buffer in
ctxs_bufs while the device memory is released for on-demand VRAM sharing.
The memory-breakdown / total_size / clear paths iterated these and called
ggml_backend_buffer_get_size()/get_type()/clear() on the null buffer, tripping
GGML_ASSERT(buffer) and aborting on shutdown of a cold model. Skip null buffers
in llama_model::memory_breakdown and llama_kv_cache::{memory_breakdown,
total_size,clear}.

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.

* Add preliminary MiniMax-M3 support
Text-only port that re-uses existing components: MiniMax-M2 style GQA with
per-head QK-norm and partial rotary, DeepSeek-V3 style leading-dense and
routed/shared experts, and swigluoai activation. Sparse attention is not
yet supported (dense fallback); vision tower and MTP heads are dropped.

4-way paths. Full debug harness remains at <8136a9c68ed7a5eb009aa67bba3fda8062f4648f> for reproducing the
selection-parity validation.
* Remove redundant comment from minimax-m3.cpp

Fully rewrote minimax-m3.cpp for speed and buffer size gains:
Unified the 4-way + decode, 1 FA call per layer instead of 4, with the groups mapped onto ne[3]
Custom CPU op now emits block-level mask, expanded on GPU, which causes CPU to GPU transfer to shrinks at prefill
Decode: ~25 nodes/layer vs ~50, no per-group concats/conts
Unified selection semantics, so both regimes rank bs + local bias (position-anchored local force), which means prefill/decode can no longer disagree on selection
can_reuse on the MSA bias input. Graph reuse at decode restored (was rebuilding the full graph every token)
In-place mask adds, shrinking compute buffer ~6.8 to ~4.2 GiB at ub2048/62k
Multi-stream: MSA now runs with -np N when kv_unified=false. Decode stays batched across streams (still 1 FA call), prefill loops per stream. dense fallback only for --kv-unified + multi-seq
Measured effect on expert offload bound setup: decode 6.2(4WAY)–7.15(MSA_decode) -> 7.7~7.8 t/s, flat from 5k to 60k+. prefill around 10% faster. buffer about 20% smaller, multi-user support.
* set default cache type to F32

* Start building graph - reuse deepseek32
* Enable kv cache and rotation for glm_dsa architecture
Just follow Deepseek 3.2 for now.
* Reuse prev_top_k for "shared" indexer layers
* GLM 5.2 uses LLAMA_ROPE_TYPE_NORM for the indexer.
This is transformers' `apply_rotary_pos_emb_interleave`
* Default indexer types to GLM pattern
Previous converted GGUFs like https://huggingface.co/unsloth/GLM-5.2-GGUF write indexer weights to _all_ layers, even if they are only required for "full" types. This PR relies on a new key "%s.attention.indexer.types"; if absent, it will use the default GLM 5.2 schedule as defined in https://huggingface.co/zai-org/GLM-5.2/blob/main/config.json#L26.
Note that conversion is not saving this key yet.

This commit removes the unused tmp_buf variable from llama-kv-cache.cpp
and llama-memory-recurrent.cpp.
The tmp_buf variable was declared but never used but since it has a
non-trivial constructor/desctuctor we don't get an unused variable
warning about it.

This commit add support for the EmbeddingGemma 300m. This model supports
sliding window attention (SWA) and a new swq_type is introduced to
support symmetric SWA masking.
This commit also extracts the code from the function
llama_is_masked_swa in llama-impl.h, so that the logic can be shared
by both llm_graph_input_attn_no_cache::set_input and
llama_kv_cache::set_input_kq_mask.
With this commit the EmbeddingGemma 300m model can be converted to
to GGUF and used with llama.cpp.
Once the model has been uploaded to HuggingFace it can be used like
this:
```console
./build/bin/llama-cli -hf ggml-org/embeddinggemma-300m-GGUF:Q8_0
```
