/*
Although we had envisioned BMI to run on top of HTC, this is not what the
final implementation boiled down to on dragon. Its a part of BSP and does
not use the HTC protocol either. On the host side, however, we were still
living with the original idea. I think the time has come to accept the truth
and separate it from HTC which has been carrying BMI's burden all this while.
It shall make HTC state machine relatively simpler
