It has been unmaintained since years, and there were only trivial or

Since we are not aware of anybody using bluetooth with the current
version of QEMU, let's mark the subsystem as deprecated, with a special
request for the users to write to the qemu-devel mailing list in case
they still use it (so we could revert the deprecation status in that
case).
I think that settles the bluetooth debate for now. We deprecate it,
wait for feedback, possibly un-deprecate (parts of) the code. Next
year we'll actually remove the unused code.
Patch queued for 3.1.
thanks,
