We don't really have multiple pointers
union {
#ifdef CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL
struct {
struct posix_acl *i_acl;
struct posix_acl *i_default_acl;
};
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_FS_RICHACL
struct richacl *i_richacl;
#endif
};
But I understand what you are suggesting here. Will try to rework and
see how much easy/simpler it makes the code.

Understood. Will try to see how much I can simplify.
