that looks fine. one thing, you probably want to apply the following path

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/netgraph/bluetooth/socket/ng_btsocket.c.diff?r1=1.7.2.1&r2=1.7.2.2&f=u

this was fixed in RELENG_5 and later, but unfortunately it did not
make it to the 5.4 release. this is just to make sure rfcomm sockets
won't loose any data.

aha! good old "reboot" fixes everything :)
