Hi Kamil,

A few more comments about the documentation:

First of all you should add some documentation about what the passthrough mode
actually is. Right now all this says is that you can enable or disable it, but
not what it actually does.

And next I have a few small comments about the timestamp documentation:

"Timestamp of the event in ns. This is based on the monotonic clock. Applications
can access this clock using <function>clock_gettime(2)</function> with clock ID
<constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>. To turn this into a <structname>struct timespec</structname>
use:

<programlisting>
	struct timespec tmspec;

	tmspec.tv_sec = ts / 1000000000;
	tmspec.tv_nsec = ts % 1000000000;
<programlisting>"

(I hope the docbook syntax for programlisting is correct)

The same timestamp explanation should be given here.
