And it looks like we also need a sync_core() on every CPU family other
than x86, which already has one.  Do we want to make this capability
depend on an ARCH_ kconfig option, or should we just bit the bullet and
implement sync_core() everywhere?

(I had to drop this commit due to downstream complaints.  Left to myself,
I would take the ARCH_ approach, then add it back in, but please let me
know how you would like to proceed.)
