Replaced non-working (on NAS100d) redboot byteswap partition truncate patch with the one that has been tested on NSLU2, NAS100d, Loft, etc., accepted by linux-mtd, and should be in 2.6.20

+Redboot supports storing the FIS directory and the RedBoot
+configuration information in the same block of flash memory.  This is
+not the most common RedBoot configuration, but it is used on
+commercially available boards supported by the kernel.
+
+A recent patch to mtd/redboot.c (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/3/20/410)
+which corrected the skipping of deleted table entries has exposed the
+latent problem of the kernel redboot parser running off the end of the
+FIS directory and interpreting the RedBoot configuration information
+as table entries.
+
+This patch terminates the table parsing when the first truly empty
+entry is found (table entry deletion only clears the first byte of the
+name, so two cleared bytes in a row indicates the end of the table),
+thereby supporting the combined redboot FIS directory and RedBoot
+configuration information flash layout scenario.
