TL;DR; The HCI_CHANNEL_USER allows exclusive access to the HCI device and the kernel will not interfere.
I just stuffed this as an alternative into the hcicore.py as only the setup of the socket differs. You can specify user_channel=True when creating a new hcicore. The setup of the socket cannot be done with Python's socket implementation so it uses cpython. The code is largely taken from scapy.
