OK, so it looks like you have the event as a free-running counter; that
is, I don't see it being reset anywhere.

Combined with the fact that you're only 48bit wide, it looks like you
have a problem.

perf_iommu_read()'s delta is wrong. Imagine we've just wrapped and
prev_raw_count = 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFUL and count = 0x1. Then we do a 64bit
subtraction and end up with delta = 0xffff000000000002 or
18446462598732840962 instead of 2.

(also there's trailing whitespace in that function)
