POSIX ACL's sit defined in a withdrawn POSIX spec (1003.1e). The API doesn't specify the fs/vfs level detail (other than supporting, user, group, other and mask acls), and gives a userspace API for accessing the ACL info (with simple functions like acl_get_file() which you should find in libacl and can fit many os level implementations). Not sure it helps much.
