You're out of luck.  The licenses are incompatible enough that it is a
violation of at least one of them to distribute a Linux kernel with any
version of the BSD IP stack integrated.

If you want the real thing, you'll probably have to run a BSD variant.
You might be able to shoehorn the BSD stack into the Linux kernel;
provided you don't distribute the result, I *think* you should be OK
legally (though note that I'm not a lawyer).  But I'm not sure how much
point there would be.
