According to the filesystem(5) man page:
/kernel
Subtree of platform-dependent loadable kernel modules
required as part of the boot process. It includes the
generic part of the core kernel that is platform-
independent, /kernel/genunix. See kernel(1M) An approved
installation location for bundled Solaris software and
for add-on system software.
...
/usr/kernel
Subtree of platform-dependent loadable kernel modules,
not needed in the root filesystem. An approved installa-
tion location for bundled Solaris software.
