I don't have any BT4.0LE devices, but take a look at this:
(Tested on the latest kernel-plus)

Code:
user@RM696 ~ # /usr/sbin/hciconfig hci0 version
hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: UART
BD Address: 1C:E2:CC:XX:XX:XX ACL MTU: 1021:4 SCO MTU: 180:4
HCI Version: 4.0 (0x6) Revision 0x0
LMP Version 4.0 (0x6) Subversion 0x1f20
Manufacturer: Texas Instruments Inc. (13)
user@RM696 ~ # hcitool lescan
LE Scan...
BT4.0 Low Energy is apparently supported and functional on the N9. Can anyone investigate further?

Scratch that, a bit of Googling brought something up:
BT4.0LE apparently requires BlueZ 5.x, and the 3.5 kernel.
The Bluetooth kernel subsystem will need to be ported, and BlueZ patched.

Let's see what we get.

EDIT 2:
The difference between BlueZ 4.x and 5.x is massive.
About 0 of the patches still apply to 5.x.
This will be a huge piece of work.
