I actually copied this from parse_memmap_one() in arch/x86/kernel/e820.c
and now looking at it, it's a pretty stupid check.

It does: p += strlen(p); which requires p ending with '\0'. So this will
likely bug if there is no '\0'.

I'm going to remove this, but still check to make sure that the name has
some length before the allocation.
