> [PATCH] Bluetooth: Add AVCTP dissector

1. Can you use the fragment reassembly API from reassembly.[ch]?

2. While I've been trying to rid the dissectors of (unnecessary) g_ alloced
memory, unfortunately for fragmentation it makes sense because otherwise you're
stuck with twice the memory necessary (fragmented and then as a reassembled
packet), because se_ alloced memory can't be explicitly freed.  If you can't do
#1 (where the g_ alloced memory is "hidden" from the dissector), I would
recommend using g_ alloced memory for your fragmentation algorithm.  Even
better if you can modify the reassembly API to allow your dissector to use it.

3. Would it be possible to use p_get_proto_data() instead of setting
pinfo->private_data?
