Good catch :)
I just did the following:
% cd /usr/src
% find . -name '*.[0-9]' | xargs grep /kernel | grep -v /boot/kernel
and the files that were caught by the greps are shown below (just in case
you want to attack them one by one, and submit patches for those that need
to be changed/updated). This is a lot more work that it initially seems
though. One needs to check if the manpage describes what the code does.
There might be utilities left that use /kernel, instead of the currently
used /boot/kernel/kernel, to find the kernel. This means that before the
manpage is changed, the appropriate source files need to be checked, to
make sure that the manpage reflects what really happens in the programs
themselves. We don't want to blindly substitute /boot/kernel/kernel for
all the instances of /kernel, and make the manpages inconsistent with the
source, right?
