Only part of the pairing procedure –setting the master bdaddr– still
needs some kernel work so to not detach and reattach the usbhid driver.
The bluetooth pairing itself will be in bluez, tho.

The options for the needed kernel work are:
  1. Using the proposed sysfs interface
  2. Extending hidraw functionalities to our needs

1. is ready right now; 2. will take me some more time, but I guess it is
preferred as it is more generic.
