This would require sinking some logic for defining calling conventions down into LLVM, rather than requiring every single front end to duplicate the same logic, but reduced code duplication might just be a price worth paying for making writing front ends and optimisation passes easier...

There is already a function attribute for soft/hard float (in ARM is
AAPCS_VFP), which is generally (or should be) produced when the
compiler specifies hard-float.
