+** libgnutls: Handle specially HSMs which request explicit authentication.
+ There are HSMs which return CKR_USER_NOT_LOGGED_IN on the first private key
+ operation. Detect that state and try to login.
+
+** libgnutls: the GNUTLS_PKCS11_OBJ_FLAG_LOGIN will force a login on HSMs.
+ That is, even in tokens which do not have a CKF_LOGIN_REQUIRED flag
+ a login will be forced. This improves operation on certain Safenet HSMs.
+
+** libgnutls: do not set leading zeros when copying integers on HSMs.
+ PKCS#11 defines integers as unsigned having most significant byte
+ first, e.g., 32768 = 0x80 0x00. This is interpreted literraly by
+ some HSMs which do not accept an integer with a leading zero. This
+ improves operation with certain Atos HSMs.
