How to enable ACLs by default on all filesystems?

Is there a way in linux to make "acl" part of the default mount options, so that it does not need to be specified individually for each filesystem in fstab?

From serverfault Ryan Thompson

• I don't believe there's any facility in mount or /etc/fstab to set defaults. You will need to specify acl for each filesystem. Why is this a problem?

  Ryan Thompson : Not a huge problem, but I was just wondering if there was a config file that would let me say "I want ACLs for the whole system."
  From Dennis Williamson

• If you just want to clean up /etc/fstab, then you should be able to change the FS metadata to put acls into the default mount options on a per-FS basis. Not really buying you much, as it moves the important data out of sight and so will be forgotten when it comes time to rebuild, unless you have a strong documentation culture.

  Ryan Thompson : Yeah, that's why I was hoping for a config file somewhere instead.
