Yes, it is misleading that these are called "ACL", since the ACL is only
optionally stored internal to the EA block.  We should provide compatibility
macros to avoid breaking old code, which will also allow incremental
migration.

On an unrelated note - does MASIX even exist anymore?  I think it was only

even exist anymore.
