The Alien package did this, and worked well for not-too-complicated tasks.
I'm not sure if there's a recent libffi binding; however, there is https://github.com/facebook/luaffifb which is (mostly) compatible wtih the LuaJIT FFI and runs on 5.1 through 5.3.

luaffifb is forked from luaffi to add support for newer versions of
Lua. The similarity is not unintentional. ;)
