Yes, it does.

I do have (some?) kernel level v4l2 stuff enabled though? (I have
v4l2_common module loaded).

It looks like that's the issue. I'm on 3.4 which has the kernel level
v4l2 stuff (confusingly, the headers are named the same), but doesn't
seem to include the newer userspace headers that the later kernels
have.

It looks like both the required files are just defines and enums.
Would it be feasable to include a local copy?
