Nothing earth-shattering, but I noticed that I have not brought over all changes I made to Q4_K and Q5_K quantization in my repo, so here it is. We get small PPL improvements. E.g., for Mistral-7B with context of 512 and imatrix from wiki.traiin.raw (QError is defined as PPL(Q)/PPL(fp16)-1, where PPL(fp16) = 5.6924 for Mistral-7B):

Quantization PPL Master PPL PR QError(PR)/QError(Master)
Q4_K_S 5.7428 5.7375 0.895
Q5_K_S 5.7107 5.7052 0.699
