When a pseudo instruction executes, it has access to all the state of the current thread. You should ensure that the address of the variable you want is in one of the registers by either putting the pseudo instruction in a function and leveraging the ABI, which is how I believe the existing instructions are accessed, or using some inline assembler. Then when the instruction is executed, gather up the registers that have important values and pass those to your functions in the CPU. If you're using SE and the variables are at fixed locations, you could also look them up in the symbol table.
