Thank'a a lot!

I have check the gnome-bluetooth, and saw the rfkill code in
lib/bluetooth-killswitch.c
There also have similar rfkill struct and source code in connman to
access /dev/rfkill. But, connman only _listen_ the rfkill event, didn't
set the rfkill state.

I will reference those source code deferentially.

Userland will need control all devices that have rfkill interface,
wlan/bluetooth/wwan..., the userspace need to _listen_ and _set_ the
rfkill state. Almost like what the rfkill tool's features doing.
 - listen rfkill state changed
 - set rfkill state for a device type, e.g. wlan/bluetooth
 - set rfkill state for a device


Thank's a lot!
