The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

Lzo is a much faster compression algorithm than gzib, so would allow
more users to enable transparent compression, and some users can
choose from compression ratio and speed for different applications
Usage:
# mount -t btrfs -o compress[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt
or
# mount -t btrfs -o compress-force[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt
"-o compress" without argument is still allowed for compatability.
Compatibility:
If we mount a filesystem with lzo compression, it will not be able be
mounted in old kernels. One reason is, otherwise btrfs will directly
dump compressed data, which sits in inline extent, to user.
Performance:
The test copied a linux source tarball (~400M) from an ext4 partition
to the btrfs partition, and then extracted it.

This reverts commit e4c570c4cb, as
requested by Alexey:
"I think I gave a good enough arguments to not merge it.
To iterate:
* patch makes impossible to start using ext3 on EXT3_FS=n kernels
without reboot.
* this is done only for one pointer on task_struct"
None of config options which define task_struct are tristate directly
or effectively."

journal_info in task_struct is used in journaling file system only. So
introduce CONFIG_FS_JOURNAL_INFO and make it conditional.

This patch adds a menu entry to kconfig to enable acls for btrfs.
This allows you to enable FS_POSIX_ACL at kernel compile time.
(updated by Jeff Mahoney to make the changes in fs/btrfs/Kconfig instead)
