Transfer engine for ``LoRAStreamOffloader`` when the masters are kept in *pageable* host memory: each
H2D is staged through a small pool of pinned buffers filled by a background worker thread. Same
``submit`` / ``wait`` interface as ``_DirectCopier``, so the residency code is identical.
Why: pinning every streaming master (what ``_DirectCopier`` needs) can cost tens of GB of non-pageable
"shared GPU memory" (notably on Windows). Here the masters stay pageable and only ``num_staging`` pinned
buffers exist. A pageable->device copy is, inside the CUDA driver, already a synchronous serial
pageable->pinned->device transfer; doing it ourselves on a worker thread lets the pageable->pinned
memcpy overlap the previous block's pinned->device DMA and -- crucially -- keeps it off the main thread
so compute kernel launches are never blocked. That is the whole speed difference versus the old
synchronous pageable path this replaces.
Hazards handled:
- a staging buffer is reused only after the H2D that consumed it has completed (one consume-event per
buffer; the worker waits on it before overwriting);
- ``wait`` blocks the caller until the worker has actually enqueued the H2D and recorded its
completion event, so the residency layer can ``current_stream().wait_event`` it as usual.

class LoRAStreamOffloader:
"""
H2D-only offloader for training where the base weights are frozen (e.g. LoRA / LoHa / LoKr).
The classic block swap (``ModelOffloader``) *exchanges* a block: it copies one block back to the
CPU (Device->Host) while copying the next one in (Host->Device). When the base weights never change,
the CPU already holds an identical copy, so the D2H half is pure overhead. This offloader keeps a
permanent (pinned) master copy of every streamed weight on the CPU and only ever copies Host->Device,
removing the D2H transfer and the CPU-side staging memcpy entirely.
Layout (N = num_blocks, S = blocks_to_swap, B = ring_size):
- ``N - S`` blocks stay resident on the GPU permanently.
- ``S`` "streaming" blocks are placed at even intervals; their ``Linear`` weights live on the CPU
(pinned) as masters and are streamed into a small ring of ``B`` GPU buffers (default 2: one being
computed on, one being prefetched). Non-Linear params / buffers of streaming blocks stay resident.
Mechanics:
- Because the streamed weights are frozen (no ``.grad`` to preserve), we swap the whole ``module.weight``
*reference* between its CPU master Parameter and a preallocated GPU ring Parameter, instead of the
``.data`` storage trick used by ``ModelOffloader``. No per-step ``cudaMalloc``.
- All swap weights of a block are packed into a single contiguous (byte) buffer -- one pinned CPU
buffer per streaming block and one GPU buffer per ring slot -- and the individual weights are
dtype/shape views into it. Loading a block is therefore a single H2D ``copy_`` instead of one
per Linear, which removes the per-tensor launch/driver overhead on PCIe/CPU-bound systems.
- Eviction is free: repoint ``module.weight`` back to the CPU master (no transfer). A ring slot is
overwritten only when its block is consumed, so the last ``B`` streamed blocks of a pass stay
resident. On the reverse pass they are exactly the first blocks needed, so the forward<->backward
turn-around needs no reload.
- Direction is implicit in the callback: ``submit_move_blocks_forward`` prefetches the block ``B``
streaming-slots *ahead* (larger index); the backward hook prefetches ``B`` slots *behind* (smaller
index). No explicit scheduler / no ``prepare_*_before_backward``.
- ``wait_for_block`` self-heals: if a needed streaming block is not resident in its slot (cold start,
or an inference pass boundary), it is loaded on demand.
