Too bad this one

http://opencores.org/project,100

is only in planning... Maybe you could collaborate with them?

+1. As usually you have to begin with what you need. Will it be using an 
external DMA engine or will it have one built into it? If you've got a 
DMAC core already, it will define your V4L2 dma operations choice - 
contiguous or SG, unless, as Steven mentioned, you go over USB. Then you 
decide what sensor interface you need - parallel or CSI, etc.
