It seems that gvfs does something like that. I've no idea how > easy or difficult would be to write Kernel driver for it. As I understand it gvfs uses libgphoto2 and fuse and it is the interface libghoto2 that is the problem. libgphoto2 contains lots of the same sort of code to handle strange data formats from the camera as libv4l so I don't think we want to be moving that code back into the kernel.(The old out of kernel driver for sq905 before Theodore and I rewrote it contained code to do Bayer decoding and gamma correction that was copied from libgphoto2).
