Just to clarify - there is no ACL code in the kernel yet. So far we
have EA VFS and system call changes in and also some quota changes.
ACL support shouldn't be too hard to get, I think; Andreas and I just
need to iterate a few more times on exactly what it is we should send.
The attached patch is my current "small is beautiful" version of VFS
POSIX ACL support and is everything we need from an XFS point of view,
but is not quite what Andreas wants, IIRC. I'm a bit sidetracked on
capabilities code to follow up on this right now though.
cheers.
