Use C's typecast system.  Exactly how depends on the accuracy you're
looking for.

Assuming:
	int a;
	float f;

To get a truncated integer, use:
	a = (int) f;

or just
	a = f;

To get a rounded integer, use:
	a = f + 0.5;

I don't know enough inline asm to help you with the latter, but it's
little different from passing integer parameters.  See the gcc
documentation in "info gcc".
