The correct way to tell if we have an overflow or not is to look at the additional sense length and compare it to the allocation length; this will work for everything. I'm not even convinced that overflow is important: for a lot of the sense probes, we deliberately induce overflows by giving the request sense command a short buffer. Printing a warning in scsi_check_sense will get very noisy very fast.
