It might need some change in the kernel to able to load the proper
driver, something like the following should do it:

diff --git a/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c b/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c
index 91d13a9..16abfd1 100644
--- a/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c
+++ b/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c
@@ -75,6 +75,9 @@ static struct usb_device_id btusb_table[] = {
        /* Apple MacBookPro8,2 */
        { USB_DEVICE(0x05ac, 0x821a) },

+       /* Apple Mac Mini */
+       { USB_DEVICE(0x05ac, 0x4500) },
+
        /* AVM BlueFRITZ! USB v2.0 */
        { USB_DEVICE(0x057c, 0x3800) },
