While I agree that this is testing an userspace tools we do not have
much acl coverate in LTP, there seems to be some network nfsv4 tests but
that seems to be all. I guess that we should at least create an github
issue that we should write a few tests for that. I guess that writing a
simple test that sets up right extended attributes and expecte a file to
be accessible or not shouldn't be that hard.
