I think the right approach is to turn it into a loop in the IR, which I think is what Doug was implying.  That way C2 can do all its usual optimizations, like unrolling, vectorization, and redundant store elimination (if it is an on-heap primitive array that was just allocated, then there is no need to zero the parts that are being "set").
