Section 3.7 of Version 1.2 of the Power8 Processor User's Manual
prescribes that updates to HID0 be preceded by a SYNC instruction and
followed by an ISYNC instruction (Page 91).

Create an inline function name update_power8_hid0() which follows this
recipe and invoke it from the static split core path.
