Subject: [PATCH 1/9] WIP: Wrap BLIS
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Test case:

```julia
using LinearSolve, blis_jll

A = rand(4, 4)
b = rand(4)
prob = LinearProblem(A, b)
sol = solve(prob,LinearSolve.BLISLUFactorization())
sol.u
```

throws:

```julia
julia> sol = solve(prob,LinearSolve.BLISLUFactorization())
ERROR: TypeError: in ccall: first argument not a pointer or valid constant expression, expected Ptr, got a value of type Tuple{Symbol, Ptr{Nothing}}

Subject: [PATCH 4/9] Complete BLIS integration with LAPACK reference
 implementation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add working BLIS+LAPACK_jll extension for LinearSolve.jl
- Fix do_factorization method definition in extension
- Implement proper library forwarding through libblastrampoline
- Add comprehensive tests for BLISLUFactorization
- All basic Linear algebra operations working correctly

This completes the work started in PR #431 and #498, providing a
working BLIS BLAS implementation with reference LAPACK backend.

Subject: [PATCH 5/9] Update BLIS extension to follow MKL patterns
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Remove libflame_jll dependency (symbol resolution issues)
- Remove libblastrampoline usage, call libraries directly
- Use @blasfunc() for getrf calls like MKL implementation
- Use direct symbol names for getrs calls like MKL
- Move blis_jll to weakdeps for proper extension loading
- All tests pass with excellent numerical accuracy

Follows the patterns established in src/mkl.jl while keeping
BLIS as an extension as requested.

- Remove standalone test script as requested
- Add BLIS to basictests.jl alongside other factorization algorithms
- Load blis_jll and LAPACK_jll to trigger extension
- Use try/catch to gracefully handle when BLIS extension unavailable
- BLIS will now be tested with the same comprehensive test suite

Subject: [PATCH 9/9] Update BLIS extension to use libflame for factorization
 and BLIS for solve
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Changed extension to use libflame for getrf (factorization) operations
- Uses BLIS for getrs (solve) operations, maintaining the BLIS/FLAME integration goal
- Updated Project.toml to include libflame_jll as dependency
- Updated documentation to reflect libflame usage
- Extension now uses: libflame factorization + BLIS solve operations
