OK I think this is getting unwieldy.

In light of the fact that we already have hardware that supports
a specific subset of curves, I think perhaps it would be better
to move the curve ID from the key into the algorithm name instead.

IOW, instead of allocating ecdh, you would allocate ecdh-nist-pXXX.

Any comments?

Thanks,
