The upshot of this is that to use ACLs with UFS1, you still do need to make a very explicit kernel reconfiguration choice, but if you use the slightly more experimental UFS2, they will "just work" once you twiddle the tunefs admin knob for the file system. ACLs have received fairly extensive testing, and due to the recent changes, you really shouldn't bump into the ACL code paths at all with this change unless the mount flag is set; if you notice any problems at all, please let me know ASAP.
