The closest equivalent would be an inline assembly statement. If my
guess that __emit__ outputs not via an assembly mnemonic, but directly
by hexcode, you can use '.byte 0xab' syntax. See sys/farptr.h for
examples (the segment overrides are code like that, there).  OTOH,
chances are that recent binutils even support your opcodes as
mnemonics, removing the need for machine code.
