First remark did not go unnoticed, so thanks for both. There was not
just much to comment on it :-)

I could just replace the constant with a (range checked) variable
read from the response and overall structure woud be the same.

This will also mean that in the case of P521 also prefix byte (0x81) is
required but just for the sequence I think, not for the integers.

Finally, I need to implement p521 smoke test for testing this patch set.

One big letdown that I only now have consciously realized, is that TCG
does not have p256k1 in their algorithm repository. It is the basis for
quite a few blockchain technologies. I wonder why...
