> fighting Broadcom's old, god-awful bluetooth code

Correction: god-awful host side bluetooth code.

There is still the bluetooth firmware residing on the BCMxxx chip (or Qualcomm chip) - >1MB of god-awfulerer closed-source code, half of it is in ROM (with limited number of available patch slots), full of bugs. You can see it crash from time to time in the kernel debug logs (and auto-restart itself)
