I just noticed this patch wasn't addressed to Marcel;
seems like this should go through the bluetooth tree (but not
through bluetooth-next because it fixes an oops).

Marcel,

You may want to build on top of this patch split handling;
I noticed some of the protocol drivers are calling
hci_uart_tx_wakeup() from work functions already (so don't
need to schedule another work...)

Peter Hurley
