The patch works more than well - the bluetooth starts-up automatically during 
boot. I don't know who does it, because it looks like the last action done 
before any service gets started.

...
[    4.434293] acer-wmi: Acer Laptop ACPI-WMI Extras
...
[    4.559937] acer-wmi: Brightness must be controlled by generic video driver
...
[    6.024186] usb 8-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[    6.183561] usb 8-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0a5c, idProduct=2101
...
[    9.763265] udev[1947]: starting version 164

It looks like the sync work synchronizes the state to "unblocked". I don't 
have more time to investigate the difference today, so maybe in following days 
- if it is important.

OldÅich.
