IPs with an overflow interrupts will be arriving shortly, so it is not like the
future is uncertain - they are coming. Right now the logic is there - I don't
see a real need to consolidate things only to split it again in the near future.

I agree the part about overloading buf->data_size with the head of the ring
buffer when operating in snapshot mode isn't pretty (though well documented).
If anything that can be improve, i.e add a buf->head and things will be clear.
Once again this could be part of another patchset.
