I am not aware of any work that was done or is planned to be done in public.

At Euro-LLVM I had a short discussion with Alexandra about targeting the 
OpenMP run time. We would both be interested in code that can translate 
normal LLVM-IR loops in OpenMP parallel loops. I am not sure,
if Alexandra has some code that she can share. I for myself looked into
the problem. I believe the loop extractor is a good start to implement 
such functionality. Yet, I do not have any written code ready.

Do you happen to be interested to work on this? ;-) I can definitely 
give you some hints.

Cheers
