EC2 instances no longer have a MAC address that matches the pattern provided (fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) so the has_ec2_mac? function is no longer reliable.

So, for now, the only way to get Ohai to provide EC2-related attributes is to provide a hint file (usually /etc/chef/ohai/hints/ec2.json) with an empty JSON object in it.

In a VPC the current MAC address detection is definitely broken. We should expand our "looks like ec2" logic to include dmesg output on Linux which includes a mention of Amazon. There's probably something similar on Windows.
