[yocto] [pseudo][PATCH 1/1] Filter out erroneous POSIX ACLs

[anton at advancedtelematic.com]

From: Anton Gerasimov <anton at advancedtelematic.com>

The difference between what we see in pseudo and what happens without
pseudo can be seen by typing:

    mkdir setfattr-test
    setfattr -n system.posix_acl_default -v 0x02000000 setfattr-test
    getfattr -n system.posix_acl_default setfattr-test

Under some kernel configurations this difference leads to annoying
errors, e.g. directories copied with 'cp -a' get broken in a fancy way.
