I've rebased @pts's ed25519 support onto master, and added a small fix to make d… bclient work with ed25519 too. It seems to work, and be compatible with openssh, but I can't personally vouch for its correctness.
The whole pts tree is rebased onto the official tree [here](https://github.com/patstew/dropbear/tree/pts) if anyone wants to cherry pick some of the other changes.

Yep, I'm keen to get ed25519 merged, just need to find time. For a while I didn't really see why ed25519 was necessary since the other ecdsa curves work fine, but given popularity with OpenSSH it really is needed now.
Update:
committed 04:09PM - 11 Mar 20 UTC
* Add support for Ed25519 as a public key type
Ed25519 is a elliptic curve si… gnature scheme that offers
better security than ECDSA and DSA and good performance. It may be
used for both user and host keys.
OpenSSH key import and fuzzer are not supported yet.
Initially inspired by Peter Szabo.
* Add curve25519 and ed25519 fuzzers
* Add import and export of Ed25519 keys
