Seth Forshee 60bcc88ad1 fuse: Add posix ACL support
Add a new INIT flag, FUSE_POSIX_ACL, for negotiating ACL support with
userspace.  When it is set in the INIT response, ACL support will be
enabled.  ACL support also implies "default_permissions".

When ACL support is enabled, the kernel will cache and have responsibility
for enforcing ACLs.  ACL xattrs will be passed to userspace, which is
responsible for updating the ACLs in the filesystem, keeping the file mode
in sync, and inheritance of default ACLs when new filesystem nodes are
created.

config FUSE_FS
tristate "FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) support"
select FS_POSIX_ACL
help
With FUSE it is possible to implement a fully functional filesystem
in a userspace program.
There's also a companion library: libfuse2. This library is available
from the FUSE homepage:
<http://fuse.sourceforge.net/>
although chances are your distribution already has that library
installed if you've installed the "fuse" package itself.
See <file:Documentation/filesystems/fuse.txt> for more information.
See <file:Documentation/Changes> for needed library/utility version.
If you want to develop a userspace FS, or if you want to use
a filesystem based on FUSE, answer Y or M.
config CUSE
tristate "Character device in Userspace support"
depends on FUSE_FS
help
This FUSE extension allows character devices to be
implemented in userspace.
If you want to develop or use a userspace character device
based on CUSE, answer Y or M.
