llama.cpp b9426 fixes iGPU selection with RPC devices

The llama.cpp project has released version b9426, addressing an issue where integrated GPUs were incorrectly skipped when RPC devices were present. This fix ensures that local iGPUs are not overlooked, preventing potential model loading failures on systems that rely on them as the primary compute device. The change specifically targets the device selection logic to correctly include iGPUs even when RPC peers are configured. AI

IMPACT Ensures better utilization of integrated GPUs for local model inference within the llama.cpp framework.

RANK_REASON This is a software update for a specific tool, not a new model release or significant industry event.

    b9426: llama : do not skip iGPU when only RPC devices are present (#23868)

    <p>After <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" href="https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/23007">#23007</a> reclassified integrated CUDA/HIP devices as IGPU, the device<br /> selection logic dropped the local iGPU whenever any RPC server was added,<br /> because RPC devices m…
