[PATCH 08/27] arm64/sve: Kconfig update and conditional compilation support
From: Dave.Martin@arm.com (Dave Martin)

Subsystem:
arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers:
Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds
This patch adds CONFIG_ARM64_SVE to control building of SVE support into the kernel, and adds a stub predicate system_supports_sve() to control conditional compilation and runtime SVE support. system_supports_sve() just returns false for now: it will be replaced with a non-trivial implementation in a later patch, once SVE support is complete enough to be enabled safely.
