+ POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support additional access rights
+ for users and groups beyond the standard owner/group/world scheme,
+ and this option selects support for ACLs specifically for tmpfs
+ filesystems.

+ If you've selected TMPFS, it's possible that you'll also need
+ this option as there are a number of Linux distros that require
+ POSIX ACL support under /dev for certain features to work properly.
+ For example, some distros need this feature for ALSA-related /dev
+ files for sound to work properly. In short, if you're not sure,
+ say Y.
