There are a lot of stylistic changes that make the actual changes hard to see, but it is basically adding a few new definitions and structs. I can't see this causing any issue, but could facilitate support for new algorithms in the PKCS#11 provider.

+1 That's exactly the intention: "facilitate support for new" changes in the future without breaking existing code. I'll keep that in mind for future approval requests.
