Hmmm. Pwc doesn't seem to be using this method, as register_chrdev
doesn't show up in any of the pwc* sources. I checked the 10.0.4 patch
and its not in their either. 
...(an hour of printk'ing later)...
Ah HA! There's a function called usb_pwc_probe which is supposed to
register these devices, and it seems to be missing the definition of
my camera. From the 10.0.4 sources I grabbed two fragments:

  { USB_DEVICE(0x0471, 0x0329) }, /* Philips SPC 900NC PC Camera */

    case 0x0329:
      Info("Philips SPC 900NC USB webcam detected.\n");
      name = "Philips SPC 900NC webcam";
      type_id = 720;
      break;

and pasted them in the appropriate places, rebuilt, reloaded, and
(trumpet fanfare) there it is!

Thank you SO much!
