Subject: BUG: update-grub, unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference

all,

When running update-grub on a system with a Windows partition the kernel
will oops with a "BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference"
message.  It does this during the call to os-prober.  After the oops
the system locks and requires a hard reset to get it running again.

This bug is present in the current linux-next (20150529) and as far
back as 20150522 and possibly earlier.  That last working kernel I
have is tagged 4.1.0-rc1+.

Below is a snippet from the back trace.  The full log is attached.
