So far usbvideo library is only relevant to new IBM camera driver and
still experimental core of UltraCam driver. I know of some people who
may use it for other cameras. This will be introduced into 2.5 as soon
as it opens for feature patches. People tested this code a lot (from
the CVS at SF) and it seems to work.

Updates to ibmcam are in CVS at SF. New driver supports two more
cameras (thus covering all IBM/Xirlink products that I know of),
moves processing into user context and is overall cleaner.
It is a "minidriver" that plugs into usbvideo library (module),
this makes about 1,500 lines of code shared among all V4L drivers
who care to use usbvideo.
