I'm not entirely sure how we're to proceed with this one.

In msm-3.4 with BlueZ the kernel has a driver named hci_smd, that
consumes the two channels and register with the hci core.

In msm-3.10 Qualcomm have dropped this, because they are running
bluedroid which instead consumes the two smd channels in userspace
(through the smd_pkt driver).

We need smd_pkt for modem related matters anyways, so on that we can
run bluedroid and we could bring in hci_smd for use with BlueZ. But
then we would have to configure the kernel based on what stack we want
to run on top.

So we should probably look into userspace and try to consolidate
things there before deciding where to take this.
