sounds this template specializations are optional since they are covered by the general template. no?

use torch::tensor to allocate memory

torch::nn::functional::LayerNormFuncOptions({n}).weight(weight).bias(
bias));

half* hout = (half*)malloc(m * n * sizeof(half));

same here.

cudaMemcpy(dweight, hweight, sizeof(half) * n, cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);
cudaMemcpy(dbias, hbias, sizeof(half) * n, cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);

just test llm::kernel::layer_norm instead but pass in different length of input to trigger different kernel.
