It wouldn't *need* to be a pre-existing pragma.
Implementation-defined pragmas [and aspects] are allowed for just this 
reason.

e.g. Imagine an Ada compiler targeting CPU + CUDA.

Task type K is
   Entry Do_something( Data : in  Integer );
   Entry Get_Result  ( Data : out Integer );
End K with
Target_Processor => GPU;

could be used to signify the task is to be run on one of the GPU cores; 
the nice thing about this is that it would still be compilable [and 
runnable] w/o the CUDA targeting... though it may raise a unrecognized 
pragma/aspect when compiled.
