    - In setxattr if we are setting a posix acl convert uids and gids from
      the current user namespace into the initial user namespace, before
      the xattrs are passed to the underlying filesystem.
    
      Untranslatable uids and gids are represented as -1 which
      posix_acl_from_xattr will represent as INVALID_UID or INVALID_GID.
      posix_acl_valid will fail if an acl from userspace has any
      INVALID_UID or INVALID_GID values.  In net this guarantees that
      untranslatable posix acls will not be stored by filesystems.
    
    - In getxattr if we are reading a posix acl convert uids and gids from
      the initial user namespace into the current user namespace.
    
      Uids and gids that can not be tranlsated into the current user namespace
      will be represented as -1.
    
    - Replace e_id in struct posix_acl_entry with an anymouns union of
      e_uid and e_gid.  For the short term retain the e_id field
      until all of the users are converted.
    
    - Don't set struct posix_acl.e_id in the cases where the acl type
      does not use e_id.  Greatly reducing the use of ACL_UNDEFINED_ID.
    
    - Rework the ordering checks in posix_acl_valid so that I use kuid_t
      and kgid_t types throughout the code, and so that I don't need
      arithmetic on uid and gid types.
