Solaris OS has ZFS as primary filesystem, that has own implementation of ACL 
(NFS v4 ACL). Samba uses zfsacl and acl_xattr modules for converting NT ACL to 
ZFS ACL and extended attributes of file in this OS.

ZfsOnLinux team ported ZFS as a number of kernel-linked modules to Linux OS, so 
ZFS on Linux supports NFS ACL, deduplication, compresson and other features of 
Solaris ZFS v.28. But NFS ACL is not compatible with POSIX ACL, the one type of 
ACL Samba can use on Linux platform. Acl_xattr and acl_tdb modules cannot solve 
problem, because it's required a filesytem with POSIX ACL support for storing 
generic ACL attrbutes.

So, can I build vfs_zfsacl module on Linux, or building required 
Solaris-specific header files?
