Just pass pointer and length, instead of a gc and return (possibly)
allocated memory. Saves us some gc instantiations and memcpy()s. Exact
same functionality, 19 lines less code.

(Didn't want to delay the TLS EKM reviews for this, so submitted as a
patch afterwards.)

I have stared at the code a bit ("amazingly straightforward, no crypto
convolutions at all :-)") and tortured the result a bit on the server 
and client test bed.  No complaints.

(I have excercised the "key-derivation tls-ekm" path, but not the 
generic EKM path - no test case for that one yet... need to add one,
it seems)

Your patch has been applied to the master branch.
