An interesting side note: The PIV driver is designed to use the PIV application
on whatever type of card it is on. The PIV specs do not define how to retrieve 
the
serial number. And no attempt is made to get the actual serial number from the 
card.

But the OpenSC PIV code and the Microsoft code need something to use as a 
serial number,
and both do this by reading one of the objects define by NIST, the CHUID, and 
get either
the FASC-N or the GUID in this object to use as a "serial number". These are 
unique.

So even if a card contained 2 PIV applications, or a PIV application
and some other application they might have different serial numbers.

So it is not clear if the card->serialnr should be set.
