Is this bluetooth.c like a utility to watch BlueZ status, watch adapter change and signals? If I understand correctly, every plugin like HFP, DUN, SAP will add status callback for different event.

Not quite sure whether we need this. Denis suggests to create an Emulator atom in the ofono core. I am now making a prototype to create this atom in oFono.
The structure is similar to voicecall.c. An emulator manager could create HFP AG, DUN or SPP type emulators. When one is created, other atom get notified and register their interested AT command handers to GAtServer. So in this way, agent server on BlueZ may call oFono CreateEmulator method and pass file descriptor directly to oFono.

Actually, my original prototype is quite simliar with yours. DUN, HFP and SPP are implemented as plugins. See my previous patches in the mailing list for details.

GAtServer and PPP are already there. We still need to add DUN specific command and callbacks.
