It might be a good idea to explain why did you need that in the first
place.  If you write full-blown assembly code that calls other
functions, simply make an assembly module instead of doing it in
inline assembly.  Going inline is only justified for short code
sequences, and manipulating the stack (with pushall, on top of that)
has overhead which can easily nullify any advantages.
