Yes, however I am unclear on what guarantees there are for signed zeros. The DAG TargetOptions are also missing the equivalent of No Signed Zeros. I can weaken this to unsafe FP Math as well.

I didn't know about isKnownNeverNaN, I'll switch to using it.

They do care about NaN. The ordered compares fail if either operand is a NaN, and the unordered succeed if either is.
