The s390 port supports 128-bit floating point. You could look at that
for how it is integrated. But it won't buy you much otherwise.

The problem with this task is not that it is difficult. The issue is
that it is mostly busy work and the testing part is as unsexy as it is
important.

Maybe somebody with ties into Intel or AMD can convince them to sponsor
a person to do the work....
