tbh, I'd prefer some naming like syn_dropped_received or somesuch.
'overflow' has a lot of different meanings, syn_dropped means exactly one
thing.
same goes for the message, if you put SYN_DROPPED in there it's really easy
to google for it (e.g. libevdev has a page that details what happens).
"Kernel evdev event queue overflow" is harder to figure out, so we'd have to
explain it more often to peopl on the lists.
ack to the rest.
Cheers,
