ACL support depends on the compile-time configuration option
CONFIG_BTRFS_FS_POSIX_ACL. Prior to mounting a btrfs filesystem, it is not
possible to determine whether ACL support has been compiled in. To address
this, add a sysfs interface, /sys/fs/btrfs/features/acl, and check for ACL
support in the system's btrfs.

  To determine ACL support:

  Return 0 indicates ACL is not supported:
    $ cat /sys/fs/btrfs/features/acl
    0

  Return 1 indicates ACL is supported:
    $ cat /sys/fs/btrfs/features/acl
    1

IMO, this is a better approach, so that we also know if kernel is older.

  On an older kernel
    $ ls /sys/fs/btrfs/features/acl
    ls: cannot access '/sys/fs/btrfs/features/acl': No such file or directory

    mount a btrfs filesystem
    $ cat /proc/self/mounts | grep btrfs | grep -q noacl
    $ echo $?
    0
