So even having the guards checking if the attribute is available it
seems at least clang 11.0 is needed, as the "lockable" arg was
introduced there:

37 42.61 fedora:32 : FAIL clang version 10.0.1 (Fedora 10.0.1-3.fc32)
In file included from /git/perf-6.0.0-rc2/tools/perf/util/../ui/ui.h:5:

#define LOCKABLE __attribute__((capability("lockable")))

The next fedora releases are ok with it:

Is there a way to check if a "capability" is available for the
attribute? Otherwise we can additionally check the clang version?

For my tests I'll make clang 11.0 to be the oldest supported compiler
(i.e. just disable building with older versions), but wanted to let you
know since you try to check if the attribute is available and fallback
to doing nothing in that case.
