[kwlug-disc] Bluetooth in VMM devices

I've actually tried this on a couple of different desktops so I'm not sure
that the host hardware makes much of a difference.  One of these two
desktops is constantly hooking up to various bluetooth devices, like my
headphones, remote speakers, etc.

On the Win10 VM, I can go through the device details, but nowhere do I see
the word "bluetooth".  So I'm wondering if I have to add it as a device in
there?  And if so, how?  I'm not really an expert on the finer details of
setting up VMs in libvirt, sorry.
