You've got a u64 and a uint64_t, and then...

... you cast to event_base to a u64 pointer, which you assign to a
uint64_t pointer.
> +	data = __be64_to_cpu(*addr);
And now you dereference the pointer.
Could you just have:
    data = __be64_to_cpu(*event->hw.event_base);

Here at least the cast type is the same as the type of addr, but again,
why do you need the different types, and why local variable?

Should this be an enum or a #define rather than a bare 0? (It may not
need to be, I was just wondering because I don't know what 0 means.)
