H A Dproc.cdiff 72b44f6577f15f37fe964c8dcc42a7c5736e604c Tue May 16 03:22:05 CEST 2023 Finn Thain <fthain@linux-m68k.org> nubus: Don't list slot resources by default

Some Nubus card ROMs contain many slot resources. A single Radius video
card produced well over a thousand entries under /proc/bus/nubus/.
Populating /proc/bus/nubus/ on a slow machine with several such cards
installed takes long enough that the user may think that the system is
wedged. All those procfs entries also consume significant RAM though
they are not normally needed (except by developers).
Omit these resources from /proc/bus/nubus/ by default and add a kernel
parameter to enable them when needed.
On the test machine, this saved 300 kB and 10 seconds.
