Kip Macy, are you out there?

I've had a decent amount of success running the XENHVM kernel, but in a 4.x Xen environment. If it can be made to work on EC2 though, then that would be worth the attention. If the XENHVM kernel won't run well on EC2 though, I've run FreeBSD in HVM mode with the GENERIC kernel through many FreeBSD and Xen versions in various combinations and always found it stable.
