Two concurrent threads are running on the system. One is running on the S12X_CPU and the other is
running on the RISC core. They both have a critical section of code that accesses the same system resource.
To guarantee that the system resource is only accessed by one thread at a time, the critical code sequence
must be embedded in a semaphore lock/release sequence as shown.

set_xgsem: 1 is written to XGSEM[n] (and 1 is written to XGSEMM[n])
clr_xgsem: 0 is written to XGSEM[n] (and 1 is written to XGSEMM[n])
