Could GPL be amended to be compatible with ZFS? Something along the lines of a legal shim. (Clearly Linus already said no to this in extension.)

Linux is distributed under the GPLv2 without the "or later" clause, so you couldn't simply convince the FSF to release a GPLv4 that allowed this. Nor do contributors sign away their rights. To re-license the kernel you'd have to get the consent of all the contributors, or replace the parts for which that was impossible.
