Hi Finn,

Loading a NuBus driver module on a non-NuBus machine triggers the
BUG_ON(!drv->bus->p) in driver_register() because the bus does not get
registered unless MACH_IS_MAC(). Avoid this by registering the bus
unconditionally using postcore_initcall().

nubus_bus_register() two things:

  1. Register the NuBus parent device, which represents the bus host,
  2. Register the NuBus bus, which represents the bus type.

I think this should be split in two, and only the latter should be done
regardless of the presence of NuBus host hardware, to fix the crash.

Hence you should still register the NuBus parent device here.

        nubus_scan_bus();
        return 0;
 }
