  // |r| by just looking at the lowest |BN_MONT_CTX_N0_LIMBS| limbs. This is
  // what makes Montgomery multiplication efficient.
  //
  // As shown in Algorithm 1 of "Fast Prime Field Elliptic Curve Cryptography
  // with 256 Bit Primes" by Shay Gueron and Vlad Krasnov, in the loop of a
  // multi-limb Montgomery multiplication of |a * b (mod n)|, given the
  // unreduced product |t == a * b|, we repeatedly calculate:
  //
  //    t1 := t % r         |t1| is |t|'s lowest limb (see previous paragraph).
  //    t2 := t1*n0*n
  //    t3 := t + t2
  //    t := t3 / r         copy all limbs of |t3| except the lowest to |t|.
  //
  // In the last step, it would only make sense to ignore the lowest limb of
  // |t3| if it were zero. The middle steps ensure that this is the case:
  //
  //                            t3 ==  0 (mod r)
  //                        t + t2 ==  0 (mod r)
  //                   t + t1*n0*n ==  0 (mod r)
  //                       t1*n0*n == -t (mod r)
  //                        t*n0*n == -t (mod r)
  //                          n0*n == -1 (mod r)
  //                            n0 == -1/n (mod r)
  //
  // Thus, in each iteration of the loop, we multiply by the constant factor
  // |n0|, the negative inverse of n (mod r).

// must be odd.
//
// This is derived from |xbinGCD| in Henry S. Warren, Jr.'s "Montgomery
// Multiplication" (http://www.hackersdelight.org/MontgomeryMultiplication.pdf).
// It is very similar to the MODULAR-INVERSE function in Stephen R. Dussé's and
// Burton S. Kaliski Jr.'s "A Cryptographic Library for the Motorola DSP56000"
// (http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F3-540-46877-3_21).
//
// This is inspired by Joppe W. Bos's "Constant Time Modular Inversion"
// (http://www.joppebos.com/files/CTInversion.pdf) so that the inversion is
// constant-time with respect to |n|. We assume uint64_t additions,
// subtractions, shifts, and bitwise operations are all constant time, which
// may be a large leap of faith on 32-bit targets. We avoid division and
// multiplication, which tend to be the most problematic in terms of timing
// leaks.
//
// Most GCD implementations return values such that |u*r + v*n == 1|, so the
// caller would have to negate the resultant |v| for the purpose of Montgomery
// multiplication. This implementation does the negation implicitly by doing
// the computations as a difference instead of a sum.
