I doubt that. A TOS AV-server won't work. It will have to be an AES
application - or in the AES itself.

Correct, but an AV-server would have to be a XaAES module, not a kernel
module. Because the kernel knows nothing about AES messages.

A different approach would be to let the AES monitor AV messages, and
block messages with pointers to private memory when MP is enabled.
