I'm not sure, but it's your work so don't let me stop you from doing
useful things.  The only manpages in section 4 that mention files
under /usr/src are vlan.4 and vinum.4.  Drivers aren't very likely to
move around in the tree but I don't feel very comfortable with paths
being hardwired in manpages unless it's absolutely unavoidable.

You should probably ask DES, Ruslan, Bruce Evans or another experienced
src-hacker before doing this.
