So is this an header for an event? Where is the data in this, this
is confusing... Also, should we have a framework to produce an
key/pair data, so that an single event can export multiple values
from one event...

ie:

struct event_header {
	unsigned int 	id;
	unsigned int	nr_data;	/* number of event_data after */
	s64		timestamp;

struct event {
	struct event_header	header;
	struct event_data	data[0];
};

the naming of these structures is rather long.

do we really need something that accurate? we should at-least have
the option to remove the timestamp or choose something of lower
accuracy?

these should be inlined functions.

how about tying this to a driver, where you already know the owner
and the dev?
