Emulation is one thing, but another one is where are those __float128 or
quad long double arguments and return values passed. On power8 le I think
they are passed in VSX registers, aren't they?
But are those available everywhere where ppc64 is supported? For ppc32
certainly not, I don't remember for ppc64.
Sure, the ABI could say pass it in e.g. in a pair of integer registers...
