The latest version of the ec2-scripts package includes a completely
rewritten "use EC2 ephemeral disks for swap space" script. Now that
we have something which works on recent versions of FreeBSD, turn it
on since it's a great way to use the ephemeral disks.
Note that the option for controlling this, ec2_ephemeral_swap_enable,
is not the same as the option (ec2_ephemeralswap_enable) used with the
previous ephemeral-swap script; this change was deliberate to avoid
astonishment for users who upgraded their ec2-scripts package and had
a setting left behind in rc.conf.
This sshd_config keyword was replaced by KbdInteractiveAuthentication in
openssh 8.7, though ChallengeResponseAuthentication is silently accepted
as an alias. However, this means that the code in ec2.conf which
modifies a commented-out line no longer does anything. Apply a minimal
fix.

This had prevented the bootconfig step from determining if an ESP exists,

harmful, just unnecessary, but it resulted in failed installations on

Using makefs instead reduces the privileges needed to build VM images,
simplifies the script (no need to copy files to a fresh image at the end),
and improves portability by allowing generation of cross-endian images.
As a result of the last, this patch also adds support for generation of
powerpc64 and powerpc64le VM images.
No other changes to the output. Tested and working for both amd64 and

The return code of write_partition_layout() doesn't bubble up, so an
invocation of make vm-release for an incorrect/unsupported target will
appear to succeed while make vm-install will fail due to missing

Prior to this commit, EC2 AMIs used a "dual-dhclient" tool which was
launched in place of dhclient and spawned both the base system dhclient
for IPv4 and the ISC dhclient from ports for IPv6.
Now that rtsold supports the "M bit" (managed configuration), we can go
back to having the base system dhclient spawned normally, and provide a
script to rtsold which spawns the ISC dhclient from ports when rtsold
decides that it is appropriate.

FreeBSD is in the process of switching from nvd(4) to nda(4) as the disk
device front-end to NVMe. Changing the default in the kernel is tricky
since existing systems may have /dev/nvd* hard-coded e.g. in /etc/fstab;
however, there's no reason to not change the default in HEAD for *new*
systems.
At present I have no intention of MFCing this to stable branches, since
someone might reasonably expect scripts they use for launching and
configuring FreeBSD 12.1 instances to work with FreeBSD 12.2 AMIs, for
example.
