the acl patch has always been utterly trivial, it hasn't changed in
ages so you can apply any split-acl patch to the last several
kernels.
the acl patch adds three trivial macro checks to fs/namei.c, two new
defines to include/linux/fs.h, and one new header file defining the
format of the acl xattr.
why its not mergable is beyond me (its in 2.6).

yes. dmapi has always been configurable and a separate split patch.
dmapi is not in 2.6 either i don't think, kernel developers want a
more generic interface or something.
