it depends whether it's actually sensible, since the inline assembly often
does little enough.  in this case, assuming it makes sense, you'd just write
it up in .s and call it.  if the overhead of a function call is too much,
there wasn't much point in doing the low-level fiddling in the first place.
that's roughly the approach.
