At the moment I think it is both. The layer issue alone would never stop a few enterprising coders from integrating ZFS. But as it is GPLv3 and the rest of the kernel is GPLv2 there is a problem. In fact, ZFS has already been implemented on Linux in user-space:
Correction: It is licensed under the CDDL. Which is apparently incompatible with GPLv2. I could have sworn Sun released something under the GPLv3 recently just because they didn't want its code to be able to be used in the Linux kernel... Anyway, I'm pretty sure that is an aim of CDDL also. Sun wants code to flow from Linux to Solaris and not the other way around.
