Please suggest another way to get this cleaned up then.

Try to document these events and their attributes.
You will then see that the whole interfaces absolutely make
no sense and you can't even put their meaning into words.

So you vote for the double event solution in kernel I posted
previously?

I'd like to have a decision how this will get cleaned up!

As ARM is going to make use of this stuff, there may show up
some more tools and they should not make use of an insane interface.

So can someone who is going to merge this then, telling me how
the cleanup will be done.

I'd prefer this approach over the one I posted before which allows
compatibility with old userspace apps.

Thanks,
