The zAAP is "just another CPU engine", and cannot, by itself, identify
whether the instruction it's executing "now" originated from within a
Java program or any other program. If IBM were to publish the
"eligibility determination" interface, then "anybody" could switch the
processing of "any" program to run on the zAAP.
