Emitting calls to functions defined in PrimOps.cmm from the code gen

Hi,

I'm trying to make allocation of arrays of small, statically-known size
inline. For large or unknown size I just want to call the existing
stg_newArrayzh function. In code:

doNewArrayOp :: DynFlags -> CmmFormal -> CmmExpr -> FCode ()
doNewArrayOp dflags res_r (CmmLit (CmmInt n _)) | n <= inlineAllocLimit = do
    -- Do everything inline.
doNewArrayOp dflags res_r n = do
    emitCallTo "stg_newArrayzh" res_r n  -- HERE

The question is: how do I emit a call to stg_newArrayzh, which is defined
in PrimOps.cmm?
