Selective scan (Mamba's S6 layer): projects input to derive input-dependent SSM parameters
(delta, B, C), discretizes a learned state matrix A, runs the linear recurrence, and
applies a skip connection via D. The fusion opportunity is keeping all intermediates
(discretized parameters, hidden states) in SRAM rather than materializing them to global memory.
Args:
d_model (int): Input feature dimension.
d_state (int): Hidden state dimension per channel (N in Mamba, typically 16).

reasoning
The task is to replace the forward computation of a PyTorch model, which is a selective scan from Mamba's S6 layer, with a custom CUDA kernel that's faster but numerically equivalent.
The task is to create a custom CUDA kernel for a selective scan operation from Mamba's S6 layer, replacing the forward computation of a PyTorch model to make it faster while keeping it numerically equivalent. I need to define a complete `ModelNew` class in Python that uses `torch.utils.cpp_extension.load_inline` to compile and load the CUDA code inline.
The original implementation loops over the sequence length, updating a hidden state iteratively, which is slow for long sequences like 2048.
