   Maybe sometimes VM code has advantage, sometimes machine code has advantage, 

Target is: keep same lua code.

By this you mean writing a library which given an FFI spec, does
runtime generation of architecture-specific machine code to make a
binding to the given spec which uses the Lua C API? If so, is the gain
over alien worthwhile? Simultaneously, if you're happy to do
architecture-specific code generation, why not just use LuaJIT?
