I am unable to unload module bluetooth to verify that the second

I have a patch on the grill.

Any progress on this patch?

Yes, it is in bluetooth-stable.

Thanks for the link. That patch fixes the leaks that I was seeing from bluetooth. It also seems to have fixed the leaks that were attributed to btusb. At least, none have shown up in my preliminary testing.
