Easy use the "inmediate" constraint:

#define TIMEOUT 9000

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
 asm("movl %0,%%eax" : : "i" (TIMEOUT));
 return 0;
}

Gives:

	.file	"p.c"
gcc2_compiled.:
___gnu_compiled_c:
.text
	.p2align 2
.globl _main
_main:
	pushl %ebp
	movl %esp,%ebp
/APP
	movl $9000,%eax
/NO_APP
	xorl %eax,%eax
	jmp L1
	.align 2,0x90
L1:
	leave
	ret
