[PATCH] mieq: Provide better adaptability and diagnostics during mieq overflow

[Jeremy Huddleston]

Yes.  This patch was motivated by some server bugs I read through in bugzilla today.  Apparently some DRI drivers can hog the CPU for a while, delaying processing.  In one of the reports, a user reported that setting the queue size to 4096 actually solved the issue for them.
