Hard float for mips16 means essentially to compile as soft float but to
use a runtime library for soft float that is written with native mips32
floating point instructions (those runtime routines run in mips32 hard
float mode).

This regards how mips16 is viewed. It's not really a target type but
there has always been a target for it in the td files. It's more properly
-mcpu=mips32 -mattr=+mips16 . This is how clang treats it but we have
always had the -mcpu=mips16 which I probably should delete now but it will
require updating all the .ll test cases for mips16. In this case it changed
how we decide if we have a count bits instruction and whether instruction
lowering should then expand ctlz. Now that we have dual mode compilation,
-mattr=+mips16 really just indicates the inital processor mode that
we are compiling for. (It is also possible to have -mcpu=64 -mattr=+mips16
but as far as I know, nobody has even built such a processor, though there
is an architecture manual for this).
