u64 is okay. You may want to double check tracepoint definition to 
ensure the assign to the first argument converting to u64 as well to 
avoid potential garbage. It would be good if this is enforced during
compilation time.

So `size == sizeof(u64)` can be removed, off == 0 just implies
reg_type PTR_TO_TP_BUFFER?
