> Currently, the SVE code is compiled only when -march supports SVE (e.g. '-
> march=armv8.2a+sve'), there maybe some problem[1] with this approach.
> 
> The solution:
> a. If the minimum instruction set support SVE then compiles it.
> b. Else if the compiler support SVE then compiles it.
> c. Otherwise don't compile it.

> Note: this patch also fixes compile error with gcc8.3 + '-march=armv8.a+sve',
> the error is arm_sve.h no such file or directory.
