It isn't clear from your commit comment or the code what needs to be enabled by tune2fs or mkfs.ext4.  Please list the specific ext4 feature
that needs to be enabled.

It is a bit confusing that you are using both EXT4_IS_RICHACL() and
IS_RICHACL() in this code.  Initially I thought EXT4_IS_RICHACL() was
checking an ext4-specific inode flag, but it seems that it is instead
conditional upon the configure flags.

It looks like it should be possible to use EXT4_IS_RICHACL() in all
of the code, since the richacl-specific code will not be compiled
anyway.

Cheers, Andreas
