There is another bluetooth scenario where a cpu core peaks at 100%.
This is when a bluetooth keyboard goes out to lunch/suspends/disappears.
No idea if this is related to the original issue, asking forgiveness if
it is not.
I have found it challenging to attract any attention to the problem,
despite it not being an entirely new or uncommon occurence.

Google the following terms: bluetooth keyboard bluetoothd linux 100% cpu



By chance, I discovered a supposed fix for this on github today. I have
not had the chance to test it (or if it even applies) yet:

https://github.com/peak3d/bluez/commit/9cc3c1afd793e40b1a0cdc4a13e08b5e2575759e

Could someone please shine a light on the sanity of this patch?
