I suspect these kpi things are not fully working yet.
The seed is just of the headers. The symbols are not in the builds of
Panther we've been seeding to developers. In addition, the symbols will
not be available in Panther when it is released.
I believe the plan is to continue to evolve the KPIs as work on finer
grained locking progresses. I think we're hoping to seed some builds as
we make more progress. Right now, everyone is focused on shipping
Panther, so the KPIs are on the back-burner for now.
We do have an implementation of the symbols in the KPIs. It's half
baked and requires some changes to the kernel that were deemed to
risky. In addition, the KPIs don't account for the locking model, so
they're not stable. Instead of releasing KPIs that would change when we
changed the locking model, we opted to wait but seed the headers so we
could get feedback on the direction we're going with the KPIs.
