For interface_up you may should simply take all flags and then the userspace application can decode it like hciconfig does. You may wanna include the features, but be aware of the extended features from the Bluetooth 1.2 specification. The packet_types are useless and I am going to remove that support at some point. Maybe you wanna add the class of device value.
