These funtions are only used by the X server modules, not the user application, right? And v4l/V4L2 driver and X driver need to be designed and maintained "together" anyway. So just add whatever ioctl functions for the communication between X and the Video for Linux kernel driver you need for your system.
Actually, my app doesn't do anything in X... it uses the framebuffer directly.
Where I see the importance for V4L/2 to maintain compatibility with X, I hope it doesn't become so tightly integrated that non-X apps won't work. Likewise, we shouldn't be afraid of duplicating, in V4L/2, video functionality available in X, as not all video apps have X available.
