The "xenbusb_nop_confighook_cb" issue is the only issue which I am aware of that prevents CloudStack/XenServer IaaS private clouds from offering FreeBSD 10 as a supported OS template. The "vbd-destroy" workaround is not possible as the ISO is attached to the VM instance during the installation. A "please pretty please" request to @citrix R&D for the hopefully last fix to get FreeBSD 10 running on XenServer+CloudStack. The earlier HyperV related panic on XenServer has been fixed in ALPHA5.
