Hmm, but does that result in examining the whole ACL for most access
checks, at least for files where most of the accesses are by the owner, or a
member of a specific group (with perhaps a ton of special case users added
on the end)?

I don't understand -- what does this algorithm have to do with access checks?
Oh, sorry, misread the patch... got caught up looking at a tree and not seeing the forest...
