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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
