#
# Take in `query_start_loc_np` and `seq_lens_np` and break the sequences into
# local attention blocks, where each block is passed to the attention kernel
# as an independent local ("virtual") batch item.
#
# For example, if are performing a chunked prefill a batch of 3 sequences:
#   q_seqlens  = [4, 10, 5]
#   kv_seqlens = [6, 17, 9]
# Then normally for regular attention we would compute with an attention mask
#  for batch idx 0 (q_seqlens = 4, kv_seqlens = 6) like:
#   batch idx: 0 (q_seqlens = 4, kv_seqlens = 6)
#        k_toks >   0 1 2 3 4 5
#        q_toks v  _____________
#               0 | 1 1 1
#               1 | 1 1 1 1
#               2 | 1 1 1 1 1
#               3 | 1 1 1 1 1 1
#
# for local attention (with attn_chunk_size = 4) we would compute with an
#  attention mask like:
#   batch idx: 0  (q_seqlens = 4, kv_seqlens = 6, attn_chunk_size = 4)
#        k_toks >   0 1 2 3 4 5
#        q_toks v  _____________
#               0 | 1 1 1
#               1 | 1 1 1 1
#               2 |         1
#               3 |         1 1
#
# We can simulate this mask using standard flash-attention by breaking the
#  sequences into local ("virtual") batches, where each local batch item is a
#  local attention block, so in this case batch idx 0 would be broken up into:
#
#   local-batch idx: 0 (q_seqlens = 2, kv_seqlens = 4)  (batch 0)
#        k_toks >   0 1 2 3
#        q_toks v  _____________
#               0 | 1 1 1
#               1 | 1 1 1 1
#   local-batch idx: 1 (q_seqlens = 2, kv_seqlens = 2) (batch 0)
#        k_toks >   4 5
#        q_toks v  _____________
#               2 | 1
#               3 | 1 1
#
# e.g. if we have:
#   attn_chunk_size = 4
#   query_start_loc_np = [0, 4, 14, 19] (q_seqlens = [4, 10, 5])
# Then this function would return:
#                           __b0__  ______b1______  __b2__ < orig batch indices
#   q_seqlens_local    = [   2,  2,  1,  4,  4,  1,  4,  1]
#   cu_seqlens_q_local = [0, 4,  6, 10, 14, 18, 19, 23, 24]
#   seqlens_k_local    = [   4,  2,  4,  4,  4,  1,  4,  1]

    #   k_seqlens = [6, 17, 9]
