- Around line 165-173: Update
test_DSA_indexer_backward_sm100_local_oob_id_is_padding to call _require_sm100()
before importing or creating the direct kernel, and apply the existing
nvidia-cutlass-dsl support/version gate used by comparable direct CuTe DSL
tests. Do not use cudnn.backend_version() as the dependency check; unsupported
CUDA or CuTe DSL environments must skip before compilation or launch.

Gate the direct CuTe DSL test before compilation.
test_DSA_indexer_backward_sm100_local_oob_id_is_padding calls indexer_backward_sm100() and kernel.gemm_only() directly, so it bypasses IndexerBackward.check_support(). Its capability check does not verify CUDA availability or the installed nvidia-cutlass-dsl version. An unsupported environment can therefore raise during factory creation or launch instead of skipping. Reuse _require_sm100() and add the applicable CuTe DSL support/version gate. cudnn.backend_version() is not a proxy for this direct CuTe DSL dependency.
