AFAIK nobody has attempted this yet, maybe because we didn't have
a model that supported bluetooth when we developed the driver.
How difficult bluetooth support is going to be basically
depends on how the display does it.  All the bluetooth-supporting
models I've worked on so far basically just used the
same byte protocol via bluetooth as it already used on the serial port.
If thats the case for the BrailleNote you'll basically just
have to add the reading/writing functions and the dispatch struct
at the top of the file.  Additionally, you'll place a new
call in brl_construct().  Look at other drivers like the
HandyTech driver.  Just look for "#ifdef ENABLE_BLUETOOTH_SUPPORT"
and things should be pretty clear to you.  All code related
to bluetooth support in drivers and the core is ifdef'ed so that
it can be completely disabled at ./configure time.
