This mechanism protects against tokens —such as NSS— that assume an update with data not multiple of the block size is final and do variant ordering between the last 2 blocks, returning an incorrect partial output and resetting state. For example, when encrypting, a token may receive an update with an input not multiple of the block size and prematurely finalize the operation returning the last two blocks of ciphertext according to its ordering. By buffering on the Java side, the token is not aware of the end of the stream during updates and SunPKCS11 retains full control to do the last two blocks at `C_EncryptFinal` or `C_DecryptFinal`. A bug in NSS (see [1823875](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1823875#c2)) requires buffering three blocks instead of two. If this bug gets fixed, the three block b
 uffering will still work and allow it to support old versions of the NSS library.

This number of bytes is determined out of `totalInLen` and based on the fact that each operation must retain bytes from the last two —or three, for NSS— blocks in `padBuffer`, or retain whatever is available if less than that. `dataForP11Update` is the number of bytes to be passed to the token during the operation (`C_EncryptUpdate` or `C_DecryptUpdate` calls), irrespective of the stage in which they are passed and of the dat...

Add more data sizes, e.g. not multiples of block sizes?
