According to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=638117 systemd 209 fixes this for at least some hardware.

I can confirm this fix on Fedora 21 with my Macbook Air running systemd-216-24.fc21.x86_64; Bluetooth stays off after reboot if set that way. Also according to that external bug, there may be additional bugs in the hardware-specific kernel bluetooth drivers.

It sounds like if we want this fixed, then, we should report new hardware-specific bugs against the kernel. On my MacBook, "lsmod | grep rfkill" reports:

rfkill 21980 5 cfg80211,bluetooth

I also have a Lenovo ThinkPad running Fedora 19, and it lists users of rfkill as cfg80211,thinkpad_acpi,bluetooth. For those that are running Fedora 21 and seeing this problem still, what modules do you see there?

The upstream bug also mentions this as a manual workaround:

/etc/modprobe.d/rfkill.conf:

options rfkill master_switch_mode=0
