The problem seems to be just that we switch the Bluetooth device from
HID mode, where it automatically connects with the remote keyboard and
mouse, to HCI mode, where it expects _us_ to do that. And we don't
actually manage to reconnect to the existing keyboard and mouse.

Bluetooth HID devices _do_ work, to a certain extent, but not without
manually repairing the devices, I believe. We don't have it working
transparently, because I don't think we know how.

I suspect there must be a way to query a device in HID mode and find out
which remote HID devices it's connected to -- then we can immediately
try to reconnect to those devices after we switch to HCI mode. Or
there's something else we're missing.
