Summary

The manpage currently notes that it will be stored in si_cred, but we
don't have any documentation to note what si_cred is used for. Given
that we use it to restrict visibility in jails, it seems like a good
idea to mention that, and a brief review of devfs(4) related manpages
did not really turn up a better place to put it.
