* appropriately aligned char buffer and then cast to this union for further

* sizeof(union fw_cdev_event). Also note that if you attempt to read(2)
* an event into a buffer that is not large enough for it, the data that does
* not fit will be discarded so that the next read(2) will return a new event.
