Thanks. However, the kernel patch and new ioctl will need 
comments at least from Marcel. Once we add an ioctl we're 
stuck with it for quite some time and have to maintain it, no 
matter what kind of newer/better kernel-userspace interfaces 
we come up with. So the choice of accepting a new ioctl isn't so easy.

Ok. Let's wait for Marcel's comment.

One thing that you'd definitely need to fix in your patches is 
to keep at least the same level of support that the current 
BlueZ has with kernels that don't have the new ioctl. Right 
now your patch would make legacy pairing fail in such cases 
which is not acceptable. Only with a major version change 
(5.x) would it be possible to consider requiring a newer 
kernel version in order to have essential functionality in place.

Right. Will fix this.
