Well there wasn't much in the ptools checkin either.
No pv, inspected-by or description. One for Niv...

The signed-off, because there was no description or inspected-by, would just fall back
to the author and who checked it in.
The ptools checkin was stuffed.

Yep. I didn't test the hch patch without CONFIG_XFS_POSIX_ACL. Oops.

xfs_acl.h:

#ifdef CONFIG_XFS_POSIX_ACL
...
#define _ACL_TYPE_ACCESS        1
#define _ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT       2
...
#endif

There is a bunch of ACL code in linux-2.6/xfs_xattr.c.
Possibly we could just modify xfs_acl.h as I think most other calls
have the non CONFIG'ed versions.
I'll have a look.
