Oh I see now, si_sys_private is still overwritten with the new seq value
even if the signal is already queued. So yes the old queued signal will
remain valid and apply for the latest event. Phew!

Bah right of course. But then, there is an undocumented side effect
to this patch in that it also resets the value when a queued signal
is ignored.

Ok. One thing you can add to this patch is the following, since now si_overrun
is expected to be 0 upon delivery (nothing can change it between the
enqueue and the delivery)
