Oh.. I think the description makes some misunderstanding here, will fix it
in the next version. This AP1/AP2 event will only be cleared by write 1 to
it, read will not change the state.

If this code is running on 32bit machine, readq will be replaced with 2
readl operation. If that is the case, should we protect the code against
it?

Sure, will fix this in the next version.

Thanks a lot for the comments.
