Hi Oleksij,

It looks like this is pushing a COUNTER_EVENT_OVERFLOW event every time
an interrupt is handled, which I suspect is not what you want to happen.
The COUNTER_EVENT_OVERFLOW event indicates a count value overflow event,
so you'll need to check for a count value overflow before pushing the
event.

It would be good idea to implement a ceiling extension as well (you can
use the COUNTER_COMP_CEILING() macro) so that users can configure the
particular point where the value overflows.
