If you do add a new x86-specific __float128 runtime, may I strongly
encourage at this point that it interoperate with the hardware exceptions
and rounding modes as soft-fp does? Systems where some floating-point
types work with exceptions and rounding modes and others don't do not fit
well with the ISO C model and can be troublesome.
