Adding to Tobias' comments following is what Polly with OpenMP support does.

If Polly detects two statements(preferably for loops) can be
parallelized it will generate the required GOMP calls automatically.
As of now the interface is not designed in a such a way that it can be
reused.

If we find that designing such OpenMP intrinsics is useful for people
we can think about that.
