Why not do it in user space ? Also are you thinking of JPEG to RGB or JPEG to YUV420 or YUYV or YV12 etc - each of which is the right answer depending on which video card or further processing isbeing done. I've consistently resisted people putting decoder features into kernel space - you can't do it well in kernel space (mmx), you can't tile it in kernel space for performance. Take a look at how alsa has attacked the problem for audio - once you have libraries that do the conversions you can keep it all out of unswappable kernel memory.
