As far as I understand, the point is that it's no longer a 'solution'
at the core, i.e. there is no replacement for hci_ldisc or any
of these, just modules for the additional h4 protocols that don't
have a linux implementation yet.

The patch set that was originally posted here had a new framework,
but after the comments from Alan and me, Par-Gunnar agreed to use
the existing framework instead and extend it in a useful way.
Please read all of the discussion we already had. You made a good
point here, but I fear you had both Par-Gunnar and me confused
because it was a point that already got resolved.
