Would it be better to give this option a name that indicates that it is
for nubus only? These are effectively a global namespace. Other than
this, I don't see any issues.
The name of the module here is "nubus", so this parameter is specified as
"nubus.populate_procfs" in the kernel parameters. Without the "nubus" it
doesn't work. I should probably add a comment about that.
