The extension of the 8 bit bins for each bin to 16 bit is not necessary. This
operation can be done in userspace or on a different machine. Instead the
max_exp defining the amount of shifting required for each bin is exported to
userspace.

The change of the output format requires a change of the type in the sample
tlv to allow the userspace program to correctly detect the bin format.
