Thanks, see below.

Sounds fair. Another alternative is: instead of not being able to register the 
HCI device if the blockcypher allocation fails, we could reply "Pairing Not
Supported" at the SMP level. We would just need to document somewhere that the
crypto subsystem and support for AES are needed for SMP to work.

What do you think?
