I tried NIST P256, and found the code in scdaemon is not synchronize
well.  Current code is based on experimental ECC implementation of
GnuPG/libgcrypt, and we need to update it.  Now, we have curve name
in the private key representation, but old code of scdaemon assumes
it's represented by OID.

I'll submit a patch to gnupg-devel for required changes of scdaemon.
