Is the "hard" memory controller a hardware block or just programming?

Also, is the "high performance controller ii" a "hard memory controller"? I find the reference manual somewhat confusing!

What is the difference between "hard" and "hardened" in Altera-speak? In programming, "hardened" usually has to do with security and/or fault- or interference-tolerance.

Does "hardened" in an FPGA feature mean that it's "partly ASIC'ed"?
