Sorry you haven't addressed my comments on your v1 yet.

I repeat that this is not the right direction to define system
calls locally.

Try this:

Run make headers in the kernel repo.
Build without making any changes.
Then add you changes and add linux/capability.h to include files

Tell me what happens.
