samba - May 2012 - Linux Samba NFSv4 ACLs mapping

Our current Linux Samba server mounts NFSv4 file systems from a Net App Filer
and shares them out via samba to windows nodes, but does not share them with the
ACLs.? From previous mailings it looks like Linux Samba is missing the mapping
for NFSv4 ACLs.? Looks like Solaris has a NFSv4 ACL mapping module named
vfs_solarisacl.? Is there currently any fix for this?? Or is there a plan to add
this functionality?

Running Samba 3.5.10.115.el6.2
RHEL 6.2

Take a quick look at the discussion thread triggered by
https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2012-April/082921.html

Quick summary: Someone needs to write a vfs module doing
nfsv4 ops via the system.nfs4_acl xattr. Doable, but a few
days of work I would guess.
