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).
