Detailed Description

SSE4.1 Q4_K x Q8_K dot product kernels.

CK-ENGINE KERNEL RULES:

1. NO malloc/free - memory via bump allocator, pointers passed in
2. NO OpenMP - parallelization at orchestrator/codegen layer
3. API must define: inputs, outputs, workspace, and memory layouts
4. Pure computation - deterministic, no side effects

After changes: make test && make llamacpp-parity-full

Compatible with Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge and later.
