Hi, Michael. Having the real RedBoot partition parsed at the kernel 
boot would allow for partition reordering and resizing. In my case, I 
wanted to store a larger kernel (although I didn't need it in the 
end), and a larger kernel partition was needed. To achieve that, I 
would have to edit the mtd flash kernel struct to reflect the new 
partition sizes (drivers/mtd/maps/ts7xxx.c). There is a RedBoot 
partition parser in drivers/mtd/redboot.c, but I couldn't make it 
work.
