Description

Would be nice if [AntiEvilMaid](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-antievilmaid/blob/master/anti-evil-maid/README) could be supported from Heads, so S3 suspend and integrity validation would be implemented in QubesOS.

Requires:

- [Ivy bridge SINIT](https://software.intel.com/system/files/article/183305/3rd-gen-i5-i7-sinit-67.zip) under /boot

Research direction

Start with the linked AntiEvilMaid README and the requirement for an Ivy Bridge SINIT file under /boot. Then inspect how Heads handles USB boot and determine the integration scope. Done means QubesOS AntiEvilMaid support provides S3 suspend and integrity validation.
