I want to change sync_core() to use MOV to CR2, but that won't work
the way we want on Xen PV, and the easiest fix is to make
sync_core() be a paravirt op.  Make it so.

A real paravirt guru could probably microoptimize this.  I doubt it
matters much, though, as sync_core() is mostly used during boot.
