I tested aarch64 GCC-7.4.1 which doesn't support HWCAP_SVE, but
aarch64 GCC-8.3.0 and GCC-9.4.0 support it.

Either we can add below code:

  #ifndef HWCAP_SVE
  #define HWCAP_SVE		(1 << 22)
  #endif

Or directly include header file <.../asm/hwcap.h>.

Not sure which method is preferred.  Maybe the first approach can be
de-couple with Linux kernel code?

Thanks,
