It is a bit unexpected that this patch is (a) specific to Clearwater Forest,
(b) it is noted that Clearwater Forest has _two_ energy related events and
_seven_ perf related events ... but then the example is for a layout with
_three_ events?

As I understand a negative value will be inappropriate for idx as well as bin_bits.
It looks like "unsigned int" is more appropriate?

unsigned int also seems more appropriate to reflect this is a value that
can never be negative. Also relevant to mmio_info::num_regions.
