I would prefer feature-based.
TARGET_HARD_FLOAT represents the presence of FPUs.
TARGET_FPRS represents the presence of FP register set because
one variant used GPRs for FP operations.
E500 then added another variant with double-precision FP in the
GPRs.
PowerPC is an architecture and the mess of FP variants clearly is
not a architecture allowing compatibility.
