I guess you could have made the x86 target use float*_compare()
instead, but I agree that it makes sense to have the unordered()
comparison to match the other specific-comparison ops.

So the NaN signalling semantics here are that we raise Invalid
for an SNaN but not for a QNaN. That's correct for the x86 op
we're implementing, but the float*_lt, _le and _compare functions
use the _quiet suffix for these semantics (with plain float*_lt
etc being "raise Invalid for both QNaN and SNaN"). So I think
these functions should be float*_unordered_quiet().
Annoyingly for eq the two versions use a different convention,
so we have float*_eq [raise Invalid only if SNaN] and
float*_eq_signaling [for any NaN] -- ideally that inconsistency
should be fixed...

You've got the sense the wrong way round on this one, I think.
I note that target-mips has a private float32_is_unordered()
and float64_is_unordered() which could probably be cleaned
up to use these instead. You'd need to implement both the
float*_unordered() and float*_unordered_quiet() versions.
