Sure, but it's the kind of thing that commercial devices do in order
to work around real world issues.

So it'd be nice to have a programmatic way to detect things (eg bootp
packets going out) and signal the driver via some side channel to do
things like btcoex weight changing.

But it'd also be nice to do it based on QoS too.

Right.
