* hexagon: disable repack buffers if host buffers are disabled, improved handling of env vars
* hexagon: add support for OP_CPY fp16/fp32 -> fp16/fp32
Factore out all hvx_copy functions into hvx-copy.h header and reduced code duplication.
Update HTP ops infra to support OP_CPY
* hexagon: cleanup and refactor hex/hvx/htp headers and helper libs
hex is basically all scalar/core platform stuff (L2, DMA, basic utils)
hvx is all hvx related utils, helpers, etc
htp is higher level stuff like Ops, etc
hvx-utils library got a nice round of cleanup and refactoring to reduce duplication
use hvx_vec_store_a where possible
* hexagon: refactor HVX sigmoid functions to hvx-sigmoid.h
Moved sigmoid and tanh vector functions from hvx-utils.h to a new header
hvx-sigmoid.h. Implemented aligned and unaligned variants for sigmoid
array processing using a macro pattern similar to hvx-copy.h. Updated
act-ops.c to use the new aligned variant hvx_sigmoid_f32_aa. Removed
unused hvx-sigmoid.c.
* hexagon: factor out hvx-sqrt.h
* hexagon: mintor update to hvx-utils.h
* hexagon: remove spurios log
* hexagon: factor out and optimize hvx_add/sub/mul
* hexagon: remove _opt variants of add/sub/mul as they simply fully aligned versions
* hexagon: refactor reduction functions to hvx-reduce.h
Moved `hvx_self_max_f32` and `hvx_self_sum_f32` from `hvx-utils.h`/`.c` to `hvx-reduce.h`.
Renamed them to `hvx_reduce_max_f32` and `hvx_reduce_sum_f32`.
Added aligned (`_a`) and unaligned (`_u`) variants and used macros to unify logic.
Updated `softmax-ops.c` to use the new functions.
* hexagon: refactor the rest of arithmetic functions to hvx-arith.h
Moved `hvx_sum_of_squares_f32`, `hvx_min_scalar_f32`, and `hvx_clamp_scalar_f32` from `hvx-utils.c/h` to `hvx-arith.h`. Implemented aligned/unaligned variants (`_aa`, `_au`, etc.) and used macros to reduce code duplication. Updated `hvx_min_scalar_f32` and `hvx_clamp_scalar_f32` to use `dst, src, ..., n` argument order. Updated call sites in `act-ops.c`.
Refactor Hexagon HVX arithmetic functions (min, clamp) to hvx-arith.h
Moved `hvx_min_scalar_f32` and `hvx_clamp_scalar_f32` from `hvx-utils.c/h` to `hvx-arith.h`. Implemented aligned/unaligned variants (`_aa`, `_au`, etc.) and used macros to reduce code duplication. Updated these functions to use `dst, src, ..., n` argument order and updated call sites in `act-ops.c`. `hvx_sum_of_squares_f32` remains in `hvx-utils.c` as requested.
* hexagon: refactor hvx_sum_of_squares_f32
- Modify `hvx_sum_of_squares_f32` in `ggml/src/ggml-hexagon/htp/hvx-reduce.h` to use `dst, src` signature.
- Implement `_a` (aligned) and `_u` (unaligned) variants for `hvx_sum_of_squares_f32`.
- Update `hvx_reduce_loop_body` macro to support both returning and storing results via `finalize_op`.
- Update existing reduction functions in `hvx-reduce.h` to use the updated macro.
- Update `rms_norm_htp_f32` in `ggml/src/ggml-hexagon/htp/unary-ops.c` to match the new signature.

- Uses `FLASH_ATTN_BLOCK_SIZE` of 128 for efficient chunking.

- Update dot product computations to use VTCM-buffered Q data.
* hexagon: fix handling of NANs hvx dotproducts
* hexagon: cleanup spad allocation in flash-atten
* hexagon: improve fp16/fp32 matmul
- Introduced `vec_dot_f16_f16` and `vec_dot_f16_f16_rx2` kernels using efficient HVX dot product intrinsics.
- Added `quantize_fp32_f16` to copy/convert weights from DDR to VTCM
- Updated `op_matmul` to use the optimized path when VTCM capacity allows and broadcasting requirements are compatible.
- Implemented fallback logic to the original implementation for complex broadcasting scenarios.

* hexagon: add experimental ggml-hexagon backend for the Hexagon NPU
This commit introduces a new experimental backend `ggml-hexagon` with support for the Hexagon NPU.
Highlights:
- Supports Hexagon versions: v73, v75, v79, and v81
- Targets Android devices based on Snapdragon SoCs: Gen3, 8-Elite, and 8-Elite Gen5
- Supports Q4_0, Q8_0, MXFP4, and FP32 data types
- Implements core LLM ops: MUL_MAT/MUL_MAT_ID, ADD/SUB/MUL/ADD_ID, RMS_NORM, ROPE, GLU/SWIGLU, SOFTMAX
**Note:** This backend is experimental and may exhibit instability or limited performance across supported devices.
It is intended for early testing and feedback from llama.cpp/ggml developer and user community.
