(investigating what would occur on systems with current firmware..) Looking at hw/fsp/fsp-mdst-table.c in skiboot it appears that we'd end up logging an error log about being passed the size 0 and return OPAL_PARAMETER back to Linux. While harmless, this is, naturally, not awesome to log an error about being unable to grab kernel log on crash every time you boot.
