This reduces the FreeBSD boot time by approximately 5 seconds,
roughly equally divided betwenn two factors:
* Disk I/O is faster in the EFI loader since it can perform larger
I/Os. (The BIOS loader is limited due to the use of bounce buffers
in sub-1M memory.)
* The EFI console is much faster than the VGA console.
Note however that not all EC2 instance types support UEFI; as a
general rule the newer instances (based on Amazon's "Nitro" platform)
support UEFI but the older instances (based on Xen) do not.
