What does the "Ki" in "KiSelectNextThread" stand for? (Windows Kernel)

I was reading the book Windows Internals 6th Edition Part 1, Chapter 5, section on "Thread Selection" and it states the following:

"Whenever a logical processor needs to pick the next thread to run, it calls the KiSelectNextThread scheduler function."

I tried searching Google and Microsoft and could not find any help. Can someone also tell me what is the significance of the "Ki" and where can I find documentation on this API?
