A prefered way would be to implement it in my userland usb_webcam 
driver.
There is already a template file for quickcam.
Adding a driver for each webcam is not reasonable as they all have 
different chips but share sometimes the CMOS sensor. Besides, handling 
picture format convertion is much easier in userland. And you'll see 
there is not much left in kernel land when you move all that code to 
userland.
Of course that means extending the USB Kit to support isochronous.
