Ok, I added there. The procedure were simple: I ran Brandon script again,
but after pulling from your tree. Then, I used git format-patch to generate
a quilt series, and used git quiltimport on the correct -git tree.

The better here is to have the latest kernel headers copied on the tree.
This way, it is possible to compile libv4l2 with an older kernel version and
later upgrade the kernel, if needed, or to use a fast machine to compile
it, and then use it on another machine.
