[PATCH] nubus: Avoid scanning "private" card resources

[Finn Thain <fthain@linux-m68k.org>]

Some Nubus cards have many ROM 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 the "private" resources from
/proc/bus/nubus/ by default and add a kernel parameter to enable them
when needed. On the test machine, this saved 196 KiB and 5 seconds.
