* fix: Explicitly enable add_bos_token during conversion
The `tokenizer.json`/`tokenizer_config.json` in the model are a bit
contradictory. In the config, add_bos_token is set to False, but the
tokenizer model itself has a post_processor that adds the BOS token via
type: TemplateProcessing

- Change architecture string from 'nemotronh' to 'nemotron_h' in all files

- Update class name llm_build_nemotronh to llm_build_nemotron_h

* feat: Support conversion for older NemotronH models
This commit adds a new target to the Makefile for converting models that
are multimodal. This target will convert the original model and in
addition also create the mmproj GGUF model.
The motivation for this change is that for models that are multimodal,
for example those that contain a vision encoders, we will often want to
upload both the quantized model and the vision encoder model to
HuggingFace.
Example usage:
```console
$ make causal-convert-mm-model MODEL_PATH=~/work/ai/models/gemma-3-4b-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized/
...
The environment variable CONVERTED_MODEL can be set to this path using:
export CONVERTED_MODEL=/home/danbev/work/ai/llama.cpp/models/gemma-3-4b-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized.gguf
The mmproj model was created in /home/danbev/work/ai/llama.cpp/models/mmproj-gemma-3-4b-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized.gguf
```
The converted original model can then be quantized, and after that both
the quantized model and the mmproj file can then be uploaded to
HuggingFace.

1. Refactored the mask computation in Flash Attention, unified the logic without separating prefill and decode.
2. Optimized performance in non-alibi scenarios by reducing one repeat operation.
3. Updated operator management to explicitly mark unsupported cases on 310P devices and when dim is not divisible by 16.

common : add -m to bash completion for --model [no ci] (#15591)
This commit updates the bash completion script to include the -m

The motivation for this is that currently tab completion only works the
full --model option, and it is nice to have it work for the short option
as well.

SYCL: fix rms_norm_mul_add for tensor dim not a multiple of sg_size (#15592)
The original implementation unconditionally returned true for this operation, leading to a failure when the tensor's first dimension (ne[0]) was not a multiple of WARP_SIZE. This caused an GGML_ASSERT(ncols % WARP_SIZE == 0) failure in ggml-sycl/norm.cpp.
This change updates the ggml_backend_sycl_device_supports_op check to correctly return true for GGML_OP_RMS_NORM only when the first dimension of the tensor is a multiple of WARP_SIZE, ensuring the operation can be performed without error.

This commit adds two targets to the Makefile for quantizing of
Quantization Aware Trained (QAT) models to Q4_0 format.
The motivation for this is that this sets the token embedding and the
output tensors data types to Q8_0 instead of the default Q6_K. This is
someting that we wish to enforce for QAT Q4_0 models that are to be
uploaded to ggml-org on Huggingface to guarantee the best quality.

model-conversion : set pooling type to none in logits.cpp (#15564)
This commit explicitly sets the pooling type to 'none' in the logits.cpp

The motivation for this is that some models may have a pooling type set
in the model file (.gguf file) and for this specific case where we only
want to extract logits, we need to ensure that no pooling is used to
so that we are comparing raw logits and not pooled embeddings.

vulkan: optimize rms_norm, and allow the work to spread across multiple SMs (#15281)
* vulkan: optimize rms_norm, and allow the work to spread across multiple SMs
There are really two parts to this change:
(1) Some optimizations similar to what we have in soft_max, to unroll with
different numbers of iterations.
(2) A fusion optimization where we detect add followed by rms_norm, and make
the add shader atomically accumulate the values^2 into memory. Then the
rms_norm shader can just load that sum. This allows the rms_norm to be
parallelized across multiple workgroups, it just becomes a simple per-element
multiply.
The fusion optimization is currently only applied when the rms_norm is on a
single vector. This previously always ran on a single SM. It could apply more
broadly, but when there are other dimensions the work can already spread across
SMs, and there would be some complexity to tracking multiple atomic sums.
* Change add+rms_norm optimization to write out an array of partial sums
rather than using atomic add, to make it deterministic. The rms_norm
shader fetches a subgroup's worth in parallel and uses subgroupAdd to
add them up.
* complete rebase against fused adds - multi_add shader can also compute partial sums
* fix validation errors
* disable add_rms_fusion for Intel due to possible driver bug
* resolve against #15489, sync after clearing partial sums

vulkan: Rewrite synchronization to allow some overlap between nodes (#15489)
Track a list of nodes that need synchronization, and only sync if the new node
depends on them (or overwrites them). This allows some overlap which can
improve performance, and centralizes a big chunk of the synchronization logic.
The remaining synchronization logic involves writes to memory other than the
nodes, e.g. for dequantization or split_k. Each of these allocations has a bool
indicating whether they were in use and need to be synced. This should be
checked before they are written to, and set to true after they are done being
consumed.
