The entire BSD tree is already compatible with the GPL. Licensing isn't the issue in BSD -> Linux code migration. Earlier on, the point was to try to craft something new and make it work well. Later on, Linux was sufficiently diverged from BSD that the amount of code that could be made common was limited. This divergence only increases with time.
