Note, first we should investigate if these tests are having any value nowadays. NFS kernel developers are testing with pynfs, we should probably delete these tests.

Looks like they may test some things (ACL enforcement, multi-client locking), that our other test suites don't. On the other hand, if nobody's actually running them then maybe it's on us to adopt them if we want them. (Not volunteering for now.)
As J. Bruce Fields (NFS and file locking kernel maintainer) consider them somehow useful, we should rewrite them to be useful. That involves understand NFS locking. Tests also needs to be better integrated into LTP, and preferably rewritten from python to shell or C.
There are some NFSv4 ACL tests in
testcases/network/nfsv4/acl/
directory. They have been brought from some other test framework. They don't have it's framework, aren't installed. We should investigate whether they're useful and if yes, install them, create runtest file.Also these tests use python, which is not optimal (#547).
