I applied your patch to get it started. However for the final solution
we should send around a string inside the hcid API that will maybe
"hci0" or also an alias. For example you can rename Ethernet interfaces
and at some point I like to rename Bluetooth HCI interfaces, too.
Internally it will still use an id number, but that is only inside the
kernel.
