I imagine there are several somewhat independent parts of that:

1. Storing the acls on disk. The ext2 (or whatever filesystem is
   used) server has to do that.

2. Enforcing the ACL when making access decisions. Also the
   file-system server's work, I think.

3. Inventing rpc calls for manipulating the acls.

4. Writing tools and/or libc functions for manipulating the acls.
