Original commit message:
    Add blinding to an ECDSA signature

    Keegan Ryan (NCC Group) has demonstrated a side channel attack on an
    ECDSA signature operation. During signing the signer calculates:

    s:= k^-1 * (m + r * priv_key) mod order

    The addition operation above provides a sufficient signal for a
    flush+reload attack to derive the private key given sufficient signature
    operations.

    As a mitigation (based on a suggestion from Keegan) we add blinding to
    the operation so that:

    s := k^-1 * blind^-1 (blind * m + blind * r * priv_key) mod order

    Since this attack is a localhost side channel only no CVE is assigned.
