Files below are sources, these should not be in jails

Jails are not using own kernel thus don;t need /boot/kernel directory

I don't like ezjail I am rolling jails by hand (few simple shell 
scripts) so I can't talk about ezjail... but if freebsd-update failed 
because /boot/kernel was not found inside jail, you can try to create 
this directory (empty directory) and run update again.
