libacl already has a knob.  i didnt bother with mkfs.ubifs because it
additionally requires libuuid which comes from util-linux.  also, it
seemed like lzo is the only compression supported by UBI, so making it
optional didnt seem like it'd result in anything useful.  at least
jffs2 can operate without it by using other compression schemes.
