ACL support was removed because the implementation didn't conform to the
POSIX standard.

However, XFS's implementation does.  You can use the kernel from their
project:
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/latest/kernel_rpms/contributed/2.4.18-4-RH/

I may contribute updated packages at some point in the near future, if I
get time to do so...
