Ok, I will remove the Tested-by tag.

However, patch 4/13, that only changes a comment, can also be tested in 
so far as to check whether the code is correct as-is for the tests that 
'I' ran and no further modifications are needed for NIST P521. In this 
case it would mean that a single subtraction of 'n' from res.x seems 
sufficient and existing code is good as described by the modified comment.
