Hi!

Many many many kernel (section 9) man pages contain the following
sentence in their "CODE REFERENCES" section:

This section describes places within the
.Nx 
source tree where actual code implementing
.Nm 
can be found.
All pathnames are relative to
.Pa /usr/src .
.Pp 

I suggest we remove it and adapt the DESCRIPTION section in intro(9)
to mention that the pathnames are relative to /usr/src.

Any disagreement?
 Thomas
