There is no overflow list - it is a pointer to the first kevent in the
ready queue, which was not put into ring buffer. It is an optimisation, 
which allows to not search for that position each time new event should 
be placed into the buffer, when it starts to have an empty slot.

I used a fallback mode here which allowed to use smaller number of pages
for kevent ring buffer, but then decided to drop it.
So it is possible to use goto directly.

It should go avay.
