Oops parsing empty RedBoot partition with 2.6.20-rc7

[Martin Michlmayr]

With current git (2.6.20-rc7) I get the following oops when it's
trying to parse the RedBoot partition.  This is on an IOP13xx based
board (Intel iq81340mc).  I guess the problm happens because I don't
have any RedBoot partitions.  Note that 2.6.19 work fine.
