This fixes pairing with keyboards that have a "KeyboardOnly" IO

spoke HCI directly to the Bluetooth controller but is broken with any

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.
