Only 14 RAPI events are available on Xeon Phi. Why so few?

1

I'm trying to use RAPI to monitor the performance of my Xeon Phi code. I just compiled and installed a native version of RAPI follwoing the documentation. And the following list is what I get when I execute "rapi_avail" on my Xeon Phi which shall display all available events. Surprisingly, only 14 are available.

Is this correct? Only 14 are available on Xeon Phi?

I shall use the "papi_native_avail" to get the available native events which reported 140 native events.
