Will you open source LLVM MIC (xeon phi) backend.. (seen in ocl 2013 beta binaries)

Hi seeing in binaries I found references to llvm.mic instructions so is clear xeon Phi (MIC) support in OpenCL will be trough a LLVM MIC backend..
Hope in time for release you contribute back this backend to llvm community as only right now MIC is supported through Intel compilers and a simple GCC port (with no new sopport for 512bit vector instructions)..
