It seems work on that front is already commencing. Iván Sánchez Ortega 
pointed me to this[1] thread linux-kernel mailing list.

The proposed patches are not in the mainline kernel yet, but they look 
promising.

In the mean time, the current ssupport for the bluetooth key in 
26.26-4 (whereever that comes from) looks OK, even if not quite right 
(i.e. disabling the device in the BIOS makes it completely unavailable 
to the system, contrary to the wlan).
