Unfortunatelly no, and it seems that we won't be able to do that
without writing our own assembler.
If we decide to do so reading what realhel wrote on AMD forum should
be obligatory:

Not much related to the topic but still worth reading:

Headers from http://developer.amd.com/resources/documentation-articles/knowledge-base/?ID=115
Offline Binary Kernel Generation
Using ObjCopy To Remove Unwanted Sections From The Binary Kernel
Loading A Generated Binary Kernel
- none of them solves our problem but since they're related to what we
