We could. What is the likelihood that we will stick with that branch if
we open up HEAD again? I ask honestly. We could just as easily fall out

to make an honest go of both bluetooth and the IrDA problem first before
doing anything.

What kernel version does your image include? There was some bluetooth
work in hh39 or hh40. I forget which. It shouldn't hurt, but it might.
