Understood. We're in the process of reviewing which symbols are required 
by the DLKM we've provided and which are required by in tree modules 
(e.g tcp_estats_enabled is required by tcp_htcp). In the meantime, I do 
want to stress that the KIS is distinct from the control and management 
functions in this patch. We'd like to make sure that problems with this 
patch aren't negating the value of the instrument set.
