How about including the NFSACL patch from acl.bestbits.at? One reason for people to move to 2.6 from 2.4 is that they no longer need to patch the kernel to get ACL support. Unless they want to have ACL support over NFSv3 that is... NFSACL support is quite an argument for Linux in an existing Solaris production environments, so i would like to see it included into the mainstream kernel ASAP (Note: I am not speaking for Andreas and the other people working on the ACL code!). Including it into -mm would give it the necessary exposure.
The patch is available in broken up form at: http://acl.bestbits.at/current/diff/nfsacl-2.6.1-0.8.67.tar.gz
And before somebody mentions NFSv4: This is not (yet) an option for production environments.
