Code Review
This pull request implements fallback mechanisms for NVIDIA SM120 (Blackwell) architecture, providing pure-PyTorch alternatives for FlashMLA, DeepGEMM, and MXFP4 MoE kernels that are currently unsupported or unstable on these devices. The review identifies a high-severity bug in the FlashMLA fallback where the LogSumExp (lse) value for tokens with no attention targets is incorrectly set to infinity, which would break subsequent reduction logic; it should remain negative infinity. Furthermore, the reviewer suggests several performance optimizations across the new fallback modules, specifically recommending vectorization for dequantization loops and batch processing to replace inefficient Python-level iterations.

Setting lse to inf for tokens with no valid attention targets (lonely tokens) is incorrect. The LogSumExp of an empty set (or a set of -inf scores) is mathematically -inf. Returning inf will break any subsequent reduction or merging logic (e.g., in multi-block attention or speculative decoding) because logsumexp(inf, x) results in inf, and the weighted average will likely produce NaN when combined with the zeroed-out out tensor. The return value should remain -inf for these positions.

This loop for dequantization can be vectorized to improve performance. Since _NUM_TILES is small (7), the overhead isn't massive, but vectorization is more idiomatic and efficient in PyTorch.

The nested loops over batch and next_n are highly inefficient in PyTorch. While this is a fallback path, vectorizing these operations using batch matrix multiplications (e.g., by padding sequences to a common length or using advanced indexing) would significantly improve performance, especially as the batch size increases.

The loop over topk slots can be vectorized by summing the routing weights for the current expert across all slots first. This is more efficient as it avoids repeated slicing and additions to the output tensor.
expert_weights = (topk_ids[token_indices] == eid_val).to(dtype) * topk_weights[token_indices].to(dtype)
combined_weights = expert_weights.sum(dim=1, keepdim=True)

Is there something missing?
Looks like call to _set_default_nsa_backends() is gated under:

DSv4-Flash FP4 experts were crashing on SM120 with "Hidden size mismatch" because the default Triton fused_moe kernel doesn't handle FP4-packed weights (w1.shape[2] = hidden_size // 2). - server_args.py: set moe_runner_backend="marlin" for DSv4 on SM120 - mxfp4_marlin_moe.py: add SM120 detection, skip Marlin repacking (produces NaN on SM120), route to mxfp4_moe_sm120_triton kernel Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Add SM120 (compute capability 12.0, e.g. RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition) support for DeepSeek-V4-Flash inference on SGLang. SM120 lacks TMEM/tcgen05 instructions present on datacenter Blackwell (SM100/SM103), causing DeepGEMM, FlashMLA CUDA kernels, and Marlin MXFP4 kernels to crash or produce incorrect results.
This PR provides:
Final result (8× RTX PRO 6000, TP=8, BS=1): 10.26 tok/s decode, 92.3ms TPOT, GSM8K 5-shot 98.0%
