What you could do is arrange for a backtrace to be printed when
you read an overrun condition from the UART - if interrupts were
disabled by something taking a long time, and then enabled, you
should see the point where they were just enabled in the backtrace.

It could be down to another IRQF_DISABLED interrupt - in which case
you won't see it in the backtrace.

Of course, printing a backtrace will cause subsequent overruns...
