CHANGELOG: Mention PVH boot mode
Firecracker now supports PVH boot as an alternative to "Linux" boot on the x86_64 architecture. This makes it possible for FreeBSD to boot, and also affects how Linux kernels compiled with the CONFIG_XEN_PVH=y option boot. Signed-off-by: Colin Percival <[email protected]>
