[CK_TILE][GFX1250] Enable MX GEMM FLATMM with ASYNC

## Motivation

Enables MX GEMM FLATMM pipeline on gfx1250. The pipeline uses an async
load instruction for tensor A, which complements the existing MX GEMM
FLATMM pipeline with TDM load. At this time, only FLATMM MX pipelines
are enabled on gfx1250.

## Technical Details

The existing gfx950 implementation was extended to support gfx1250
architecture. All three MX FP data types are supported across the two
ASICs.
It should be noted that while the TDM pipeline uses an emulated
32x32x128 warp-tile instruction, the present submission relies on the
built-in 16x16x128 instruction, called 4 times per warp.

## Test Plan

Existing `test/ck_tile/flatmm` tests were extended to cover new gfx1250
functionality.

To help facilitate the testing in development,
`example/ck_tile/18_flatmm/script/smoke_test_mx.sh` script was
introduced to verify various combinations of supported data types and
pipeline versions.

## Test Result

The present submission is expected to work on both gfx950 and gfx1250
hardware for all reasonable sizes and all MX FP8/FP6/FP4 data types.

## Submission Checklist

- [x] Look over the contributing guidelines at
https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md#pull-requests.
- [x] Relies on #6978 and should only be merged after the changes are
merged to the `develop`.

FLATMM Matrix Multiplication with CK Tile

This example demonstrates FLATMM (flattened matrix multiplication) using the CK Tile programming model. FLATMM is a variant of GEMM optimized for certain memory layouts and batch processing patterns. Currently, it only supports the basic feature of the CK Tile FLATMM, but creates the placeholders for the future support on different FLATMM pipeline and different FLATMM modules. In the near future, we will gradually migrate all the FLATMM features from old CK to CK Tile.


Algorithm and Math

Given:

  • A: [\text{batch}, M, K]
  • B: [\text{batch}, K, N]
  • C: [\text{batch}, M, N]

For each batch b:


C^{(b)} = A^{(b)} \times B^{(b)}
  • FLATMM: An alternative solution as the Preshuffled GEMM in /03_gemm

Build & Run

# in the root of ck_tile
mkdir build && cd build
# you can replace <arch> with the appropriate architecture (for example gfx90a or gfx942) or leave it blank
../script/cmake-ck-dev.sh  ../ <arch>
# The basic pipeline method on the flatmm calculation
make tile_example_flatmm_basic -j

This will result in an executable build/bin/tile_example_flatmm_basic
