Of course its *possible*. Joerg, or anyone else, has only to prepare a
reasonably formed webrev, properly tested, and meeting the other basic
integration guidelines, to get it integrated.
If that patch depends on integrating some of Joerg's other work
(libschily for example), its going to take more time and be more
contentious.
If memory serves me well, this enhancement is intended to be integrated into
the hsfs driver.
I haven't looked at this particular set of changes, but so far Joerg has
expressed a general unwillingness to work on more enhancements on
illumos until we approve his "star" program for integration. That's a
particular axe of his to grind, and "star" has become somewhat
contentious as his goals and those of illumos are not necessarily
closely matched.
Pardon my ignorance, but star ( Jörg's version of tar) should concern
OpenIndiana and not Illumos, which is a kernel, right?
IMO, that might be more logical, but we do have other userland utilities
in illumos-gate. Joerg has made getting star into illumos-gate one of
his major goals. It does seem however, that he's the only person I've
heard of who has this particular goal or desire.
I may start a "userland" or "supplemental" consolidation using star, and
certain other things I want to remove from ON (e.g. sendmail, perhaps
lpsched), in the near future. There needs to be further discussion
around this, however.

I would love to see a userland consolidation so that real illumos
distros can provide a real value add, by having upstreams that are not
just illumos. seems that most of Gnome fits that model. ;-)
