Thanks for sending this. Nice work. In fact the mpi_write_sgl() function
worked only because the mpi_normalize() stripped all MSB zero limbs.
Given that this will hold for all cases we can simplify this even more.
Unfortunately I don't know if this will be true for mpi_sub() or
mpi_set_ui() because they are declared in include/linux/mpi.h,
but never defined anywhere.

I've found one problem in 08/14 in mpi_read_buffer()
It's a pointer arithmetic issue, which causes the first limb to be
written at an invalid address if lzeros > 0. This incremental patch
fixes it.

Subject: [PATCH] lib/mpi: fix pointer arithmetic issue in mpi_read_buffer

Fix pointer arithmetic issue, which causes the first limb to be
written at invalid address if lzeros > 0.
