If I'm not mistaken, this means your file system will however be broken
by this change:

 - Remove passthrough of acl xattrs when fuse acl support is disabled or
   default_permissions is not used.

I assume you don't use default_permissons (because otherwise you
couldn't support ACLs), so this means with the patch you would no longer
get the ACLs in xattr forms.
