Avoid stack-allocation of large memory buffers
Using a stack-buffer with a size > 2K could easily produce a stack
overflow for an embedded device which has a limited stack size.
This commit dynamically allocates the large CSR buffer.
This commit avoids using a temporary buffer for storing the OIDs.
A single buffer is used:
a) OIDs are written backwards starting with the end of the buffer;
b) OIDs are memmove'd to the beginning of the buffer;
c) signature over this OIDs is computed and written backwards from the
end of the buffer;
d) the two memory regions are compacted.
