From your blog post I gather that they will not (much longer) be required if one was to build their own kernel? What gave you that idea?

It does for amd64. And there's a XEN configuration for i386. But no XENHVM configuration for i386. Yep, that's why there's a patch in /root/ec2-bits which adds XENHVM. :-) -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
