Hi Alexandru

Somewhere we need a comment stating what EDPD means. Here would be a
good place.

I think you are passing a u16. So why not 0xfffe and 0xffff?  We also
need to make it clear what the units are for interval. This file
specifies the contract between the kernel and user space. So we need
to clearly define what we mean here. Lots of comments are better than
no comments.
