[flashboot] Dealing with OpenBSD patches

[Rickard Dahlstrand]

The rule is if the patch is affecting files in the sys/-dir only, a 
build-kernel.sh will do, if any thing else you will have to do a 
build-release.sh. However, flashboot only contains a subset of the 
OpenBSD distribution, so as Yannick said, read up on if you need to 
apply the patch before you put the effort into upgrading your system.

Regards, Rickard.
