well, IRBuilder can be used too :)
Suppose you wrote a class, which methods is solely in asm.
Then, adding something like this in your class will do funny trick:

MyClass class>>new
| gen |
    self isAlreadyWrapped ifTrue: [  ^ self basicNew ].
    gen := AsmGenerator new createAssemblyFor: self.  " compile
instance methods and prepare them for use"
    gen GenerateWrappersFor: self
    ^ self basicNew
---

A GenerateWrappersFor must do the following: generate a CompiledMethod
for each method in class which actually wraps call to assembler
function, and replace a method in MyClass methods dictionary.

As result you get an easy and transparent form for calling your asm code.

instance := MyClass new.  "create an instance, and have fun"
instance myAsmRoutine1: 5 with: 10 ...  "call an assemler method via wrapper "
