Some platforms may use e.g. different filtering mechanism and, thus,
may need different way to validate the events.

Seems like this should be -EINVAL, or maybe the callback should return int so it can make its own distinction (yes, I know the outer logic doesn't actually propagate it, but there's no reason that couldn't improve at some point as well).

Another thought is that once we get into imp-def conditions for whether an event is valid in itself, we presumably also need to consider imp-def conditions for whether a given pair of events are compatible to be grouped?

Thanks,
Robin.
