// ====================== TopK softmax things ===============================

/*
  A Top-K gating softmax written to exploit when the number of experts in the MoE layers
  are a small power of 2. This allows us to cleanly share the rows among the threads in
  a single warp and eliminate communication between warps (so no need to use shared mem).

  It fuses the softmax, max and argmax into a single kernel.

  Limitations:
  1) This implementation is intended for when the number of experts is a small power of 2.
  2) This implementation assumes k is small, but will work for any k.
