The ACL userspace will also need updating - see the end of
cmd/acl/libacl/acl.c
In terms of including these changes, we're looking at ways
to consolidate the different ACL/EA userspace packages at
the moment (between XFS and ext2/3) and these syscalls will
likely be reworked at some point in the future, so I'm a bit
hesitant to go extending this code to new platforms in the
interim (would equate to more places where it may break down
the track).
