This fixes pairing with keyboards that have a "KeyboardOnly" IO
capability. This used to work previously in a world where user space
spoke HCI directly to the Bluetooth controller but is broken with any
user space version using the recently introduced management interface.

This patch is due to the first one. We increment the revision every time
something gets added to the management interface. FWIW, I've tested that
pairing now works with keyboards of this kind with these patches.
