I haven't tryed to upgrade my r151022 with the ce updates, but I'm pretty
sure that it must work.

If you use hvm, then there is no need for an extra loader. Just install
omnios, as you would onto the "virtual" hdd.
However, I never tried amazon's env. I experimenting with omnios on my home
nas. (See my mail two days ago)

The only drawback what I found: if the xen hypervisor is >=4.6 (or >4.5.1 I
don't know yet), then the pv network driver won't work.

Cheers,
