XFS and ACLs in 2.4.25...what happen?

I just pulled down kernel 2.4.25 yesterday, thinking I could
finally move away from a kernel with a separately-maintained XFS
patchset. I then went and grabbed the combined ACL/EA patchset
from acl.bestbits.at and applied it (applying some chunks by
hand).

Then I went into menuconfig and started choosing options, only to
discover that there's no checkbox for CONFIG_XFS_POSIX_ACL, no
listing for it in Configure.help, and no reference to it (even
commented) in the resulting .config file. There are still
#ifdef hooks for it in the fs/xfs stuff though, and there are
"Extended attributes" for both ext2 and ext3 (as there should
be)--just none for XFS. I see no patches to correct this at
oss.sgi.com either...

So what gives? What happened to XFS ACL support?
