Because the merging instructions say:

"Changes to kernel code should be merged to sys. For instance, a change
to the ichwd(4) driver should be merged to sys, not sys/dev/ichwd.
Likewise, a change to the TCP/IP stack should be merged to sys, not
sys/netinet."

So any merge from head to stable/x will also update the directories that
already have svn:mergeinfo properties, namely those listed above.
