we don't have to use the HCI names for it. We can choose names that fit
a little bit more better.

These are not needed in the D-Bus interface. The first parameter of a
D-Bus method will be "string device" and can be "hci0" or a BD_ADDR and
this is enough to identify the device and open the needed socket.

The HCI don't defines anything on PIN or link key management, but a
D-Bus interface should provide functions for it.

Marcel
