Subject: [BlueZ PATCH v3] doc: Describe the new Advertisement Monitor support

This describes the following commands and event.
- Read Advertisement Monitor Features command
- Add Advertisement Patterns Monitor command
- Remove Advertisement Monitor command
- Advertisement Monitor Added event
- Advertisement Monitor Removed event
Note that the content of a monitor can differ based on its type. For now we
introduce only pattern-based monitor, so you may find that unlike the
command of removing monitor(s), the Add command is tied to a specific type.
---

Changes in v3:
- Remove Advertisement Monitor can perform the removal of one monitor
or all monitors.
- Add Read Advertisement Monitor Features command.
- Add Advertisement Monitor Added event and dvertisement Monitor Removed
event.

Changes in v2:
- Combine commands to remove one monitor and remove all monitors. The
refined command takes multiple handles and an extra field to indicate
whether to remove all monitors.

+Read Advertisement Monitor Features Command
+===========================================
+
+ Command Code: 0x0049
+ Controller Index: <controller id>
+ Command Parameters:
+ Return Parameters: Supported_Features (4 octets)
+ Adopted_Features (4 octets)
+
+ This command is used to read the advertisement monitor features supported
+ by the controller and stack. Supported_Features lists all related
+ features supported by the controller while Adopted_Features lists the
+ ones currently adopted by the stack.
+
+ Supported_Features and Adopted_Features are bitmasks with currently the
+ following available bits:
+
+ 1 Advertisement content monitoring based on Microsoft HCI
+ extension.
+
+
+Add Advertisement Patterns Monitor Command
+=========================================
+
+ Command Code: 0x004A
+ Controller Index: <controller id>
+ Command Parameters: Pattern_count (1 Octets)
+ Pattern1 {
+ AD_Data_Type (1 Octet)
+ Offset (1 Octet)
+ Length (1 Octet)
+ Value (variable length)
+ }
+ Pattern2 { }
+ ...
+ Return Parameters: Monitor_Handle (4 Octets)
+
+ This command is used to add an advertisement monitor whose filtering
+ conditions are patterns. The kernel would track the number of registered
+ monitors to determine whether to perform LE scanning while there is
+ ongoing LE scanning for other intentions, such as auto-reconnection and
+ discovery session. If the controller supports advertisement filtering,
+ the kernel would offload the content filtering to the controller in
+ order to reduce power consumption; otherwise the kernel ignore the
+ content of the monitor. Note that if the there are more than one
+ patterns, OR logic would applied among patterns during filtering. In
+ other words, any advertisement matching at least one pattern in a given
+ monitor would be considered as a match.
+
+ A pattern contain the following fields.
+ AD_Data_Type Advertising Data Type. The possible values are
+ defined in Core Specification Supplement.
+ Offset The start index where pattern matching shall be
+ performed with in the AD data.
+ Length The length of the pattern value in bytes.
+ Value The value of the pattern in bytes.
+
+ Here is an example of a pattern.
+ {
+ 0x16, // Service Data - 16-bit UUID
+ 0x02, // Skip the UUID part.
+ 0x04,
+ {0x11, 0x22, 0x33, 0x44},

+Remove Advertisement Monitor Command
+====================================
+
+ Command Code: 0x004B
+ Controller Index: <controller id>
+ Command Parameters: Monitor_Handle (4 Octets)
+ Return Parameters:
+
+ This command is used to remove advertisement monitor(s). The kernel
+ would remove the monitor(s) with Monitor_Index and update the LE
+ scanning. If the controller supports advertisement filtering and the
+ monitor(s) has been offloaded, the kernel would cancel the offloading;
+ otherwise the kernel takes no further actions other than removing the
+ monitor(s) from the list.
+
+ Monitor_Handle can be the following values.
+ Value Operation
+ -------------------------
+ 0x00000000 Removes all existing monitor(s)
+ 0x00000001 or greater Removes the monitor with that handle
