* llama : ggml-backend integration
* ggml-backend : add names to buffers
* fix unmap after loading
* batched-bench : add tensor_split param
* llama : check for null tensor_split
* ggml-backend : increase GGML_MAX_BACKENDS
* improve graph splitting, partial fix for --no-kv-offload
* cuda : add ggml-backend split buffer support
* cuda : do not create buffer types for devices that don't exist (fixes usage without CUDA devices available)
* ggml : fix null backend dereference (llama/4807)
* ggml : fix null backend dereference
* ggml : also check ggml_backend_is_cpu
* test-backend-ops : check buffer allocation failures
* llama : add cparam (split_mode) and command line argument (--split-mode, -sm) to configure the split mode (none, layer or row)
* ggml : fix mul_mat_id work size
* llama : rewrite session kv load/set without graphs
* minor
* llama : only initialize used backends, free backends on context free
* llama : abort ctx if cuda backend init fails
* llama : rewrite lora with ggml-backend and compute on CPU
ggml-ci
* llama : only map to a backend buffer the region of the file mapping containing the tensors used in the buffer
* opencl : add ggml-backend buffer type
* cuda : only use batched_cublas with batched mat muls (fixes fp16 tg perf)
* llama : on Metal, by default offload the full model
ggml-ci
* metal : page align the data ptr (llama/4854)
* Apply suggestions from code review
