This driver do not makes a lot of sense without your chardev patches. As
soon as this patches go mainline, this driver will be able to send
event with a timestamp and counter state to the user space.

With other words, we will need an irq handler anyway. In this case we
can't save more RAM or CPU cycles by using system irq counters.
