Actually the Extended Inquiry is already supported with current systems
and it works quite well for the device name. The kernel basically has
preliminary Sniff Subrating support, but the actual used values still
need some tweaking to make use of it.

For Simple Pairing, I will wait until the final specification has been
published. The basic support for Simple Pairing however is ready.
