BTW, would it make sense split ecdsa signature encoding to its own patch
in my next patch set version and name it ecdsa_* style and put it to
ecdsa.c?

Just asking this because the part should be the same same for any ECDSA
signature. It must scale also to all NIST variants before my patch set
can land.
