d53ee33e1c Now that potentially buggy versions of Xen are automatically detected
(see r302635), there is no need to force msix interrupt migration off
via loader.conf.

4d1afa14d5 Enable indirect segment I/Os by default in the Xen blkfront driver when
running on EC2.  Due to improvements in EC2, the performance penalty which
was present on some EC2 instances no longer exists, and enabling this
feature now consistently yields ~20% higher throughput with equal or lower
latency.

60406292e4 Turn off MSI-X interrupt migration by default in EC2 instances; this works
around a bug in older versions of Xen and unbreaks SR-IOV (aka. "EC2
Enhanced Networking").

f207bd78e6 Switch from console="comconsole" to boot_multicons="YES" in EC2.
Amazon recently introduced an API for capturing screenshots of an
emulated VGA device; this commit makes that (somewhat) useful.

a5c1653b5c Disable blkif indirect segment I/Os in EC2 by default due to performance
issues on some EC2 instance types.  Users may want to experiment with
removing this from loader.conf and measuring the performance impact on
the EC2 instances they are using.

67076e4d58 Ensure ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES is set when deleting pkg(8) from the
DESTDIR, otherwise it can get stuck in ttyin.

This means no 10-STABLE EC2 images this week.
