Softfp will exploit hardware floating point unit if such is available, if not it will handle it in software.
No, that emulation is done by the kernel and can be done in soft, softfp and hard (albeit it obviously doesn't make sense in soft, but it does in softfp). So it has nothing to do with hardware but with software -- mikecomputing is mostly right.

Read the Debian link I quoted above. Even the Fedora blogpost gets it wrong.
