I don't know much about Linux kernel architecture, but could it be a separate binary loaded at runtime by the kernel, so that it's not actually part of the kernel?

That's how http://zfsonlinux.org/ http://zfsonlinux.org/ approaches it. Maybe Ubuntu will just package it in the standard distro. That'd be a bit underwhelming if that's what it is. From what little I know about ZFS, its designers basically thought that traditional layering of how storage is approached in UNIX didn't make sense, so they re-did much of it from scratch. As a result, ZFS doesn't really natively fit as a pluggable filesystem.
