Can someone give an quick overview of the Linux NFSv3 ACL status? The
Linux NFS FAQ at http://nfs.sourceforge.net/ says:

"D3. What does this mean:  svc: unknown program 100227 (me 100003)

A. It refers to a mount request by a Solaris system that is trying to get
ACL information - which linux obviously does not have. "

But: http://acl.bestbits.at/ seems to indicate that ACLs over NFSv3
actually works, and provides patches for 2.6.1, but I can't find any
information about if this patch is really needed for modern kernels
(2.6.7) or modern distributions. Is this patch for the server, client or 
both? 

Also, what about interoperatbility with Solaris?
