This gets repeated with each additional functional reasource.

The problem here is calling proc_mkdir() when the directory already
exists. Each nubus_board gets a directory such as /proc/bus/nubus/s/
where s is the hex slot number. Therefore, store the 'procdir' pointer
in struct nubus_board instead of struct nubus_dev.
