It looks like the CMOS-sensor cameras are supported using a usbdevfs
and have the patch that cannot go back into the kernel.

The CCD-sensor cameras have a patch that has gone into the kernel
already.  It's the CCD cameras that I am interested in, and (one of)
the CCD cameras that I posted the lsusb output for.
