How exactly is this implementing ACLs? I grepped through the code a bit
and couldn't quite figure it out--it looked like maybe it's both
converting to a POSIX ACL and storing the full SBM ACL in an xattr, is
that correct? When you read an ACL, and both are present, which do you
use?

Also it looked like there's some code from fs/nfsd/nfs4acl.c, could we
share that somehow instead of copying?
