As far as I know, there is no (detailed/discussed/agreed upon/...) plan
to move any existing functionality in LLVM-Core or Clang to MLIR. There
are some people that expressed interest in there is Chris's plan on how
the transition could look like.

If we want to look into multi-threading for the existing LLVM
infrastructure there are certainly possibilities. Computing (function)
analyses results prior to CGSCC and Module passes for example. When it
comes to transformations it is less straight forward but there is still
interest in looking into it.

I'm traveling but if you are interested we can discuss this further next
week.

Cheers,
  Johannes
