Sometimes people want to apply limits though :)

With the current possibilities 4 should be enough for most needs (1 user,
1 keyboard, 1 mouse, 1 headset, 1 spare) and its fairly easy to change if
need be.

This wont work exactly - btdevctl(8) is used to configure the device but
its not a daemon and does not keep the device file open so you need to
know which device to interact with (may already exist). I used the minor
number as the device index because different devices use different
protocols and matching on the address alone will be difficult.
