True, though "connection" is longer than "session" and we should try to
use something that's short and clean. IMHO "slc" isn't totally bad even
though the data is already used before the SLC establishment is fully
completed. You could think of it as "data needed for SLC establishment
and state handling" in which case the name would be kind of justified.

There's also the telephony driver that can call into headset.c. However,
I suppose that case could also be considered a bug in the driver if it
does these calls while there's no connection. It's probably still a good
idea to check if the current drivers (particularly telephony-maemo.c) do
anything like this.
