Jingyue,
In my limited experience from playing with some simple examples, the metadata is
pretty stable; some work has recently been done in this area to clean up some of
the lose ends (just the other day, a patch was committed to prevent loop
rotation from breaking it).
The work to be done is pretty minimal -- you can take advantage of the
infrastructure used to generate the metadata to support OpenMP loop pragmas.
Only some of this is upstream (for the rest, see
https://github.com/clang-omp/clang_trunk -- lib/CodeGen/CGLoopInfo.cpp in that
repository is especially relevant).
