This is an ABI change.  So would need a really strong reason to make it...
mind you - it seems like this has been broken until now anyway so this change
may be fine.

It's relatively unusual that you can't separate the two event directions with careful
control of the thresholds.  So I think you can implement the existing ABI by
just setting the thresholds to the either 0 or 2^12 - 1 as appropriate.
The docs seem to say it must exceed the value, or fall below the min so these values
should ensure it can't do either.

You can then enable the event generate if one of them is set.
