There's no debate. The CDDL has never been compatible with the GPL... and CDDL'd code will never be a part of the kernel.

In this link Linus talks about loadable module licensing.. gives an example of AFS, which he says he did not think counted as a derived work (and therefore did not need to be licensed under the GPL).. very similar to the ZFS case.
