That's why powerpc64le cannot offload to itself.  How does the original code require `__float128`?  It checks `Context.getTargetInfo().hasFloat128Type()`.  As far as I can tell, that checks for `__float128` support, and it does not check for 128-bit `long double` support.  That's why powerpc64le cannot offload to itself.

My point about ppc64le is:
If the host code uses long double 128 bit long, tbe device long double also must be 128 bit long. But if device does not support 128bit FP type naturally, user cannot do any operations with it except just load/stores.
Forget about float128 type, we talk about 128bit long double here.
