Avoid xvi8ger4pp signed→unsigned bias correction by dequantizing Q4/Q8 inputs to FP16 and using FP16×FP16→FP32 MMA. This removes post-processing overhead and improves performance. Performance Impact: 1.5 ~ 2x improvement in PP_Speed for Q4 and Q8 Models, measured with llama-bench and llama-batched-bench.
