The linux client should have full support for the nfsv4 acl protocol.
See "nfs4-acl-tools" on http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/linux/.

The linux server has partial support based on translation to back-end
posix acls.  It should work as long as the exported filesystem supports
posix acls (which may require mounting it with the "acl" option).
