From inside the inline assembly itself: you can't. But you can do one
of these, provided you write extended inline assembly:

1) pass in the result of an offsetof() standard C macro call, among
the other in-parameters.

2) Instead of a pointer to the enclosing structure, pass in a pointer to
   the element, instead.

In 'raw' inline assembly, neither of the above is possible, I suspect.
