I don't understand the question, the module supports all v4l2
commands. You can rip out the v4l1 ones by simply adding an #if 0
around it.

As for the communication between the modules, yes, that's v4l1, and
anyone could "scriptically" replace them, there's enough examples and
that's not difficult at all. Whoever removes v4l1 from the kernel is
welcome to do this simple task also.
