I'm more familiar with ia64 than x86, and so it's a learning process for me to understand how easy it is to do this.  First off, is there common code out there or in the dll that will allow me to walk through x86 instructions in search for a call?

You don't want to do this.

One way you can avoid calls would be to write an llvm pass that looks for calls and inlines the code - this will require that any additional code that you write also be in llvm ir form and then just inline to your heart's content.
