AFAIK this impossible because license on ZFS is not compliant with gpl.

From your wiki page:
1. ZFS is implemented as open-source software, licensed under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL).
2. Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) is a free software license, produced by Sun Microsystems, based on the Mozilla Public License (MPL), version 1.1.
Files licensed under the CDDL can be combined with files licensed under other licenses, whether open source or proprietary[1]. The Free Software Foundation considers it a free license incompatible with the GNU General Public License (GPL).[2] The incompatibility arises from a complex interaction of several clauses that the CDDL inherited from the MPL.[3] The CDDL was submitted for approval to the Open Source Initiative on December 1, 2004 and approved as an open source license in mid January 2005. In the first draft of the OSI's license proliferation committee report, the CDDL is one of nine preferred licenses listed as popular, widely used or with strong communities. [4]
Not going to happen.

FreeBSD also use ZFS.
ZFS is licensed under CDDL, so it cannot be included in the kernel which is licensed under the GPLv2.
I heard rumors about Sun planning to dual-license ZFS under GPLv3, but then it still wouldn't be possible to include it.
You can use ZFS in FUSE, but thats not so cool.
If someone made a patch, you could compile your own kernel with it.

Luckily ext4 is on the way, which will be better than ext3 and a little bit like ZFS maybe.

Must be done in userspace like ntfs3g then. On the other hand, it is probably something very few people need.

Dupe...
I'd like to see this implemented.
And EXT4 is nothing like Zfs I think..

Either way, this is a dupe
