The buf_overrun count is only every written, and not exposed to userspace anywhere. This means that dropped characters due to flip buffer overruns are never visible to userspace. The /proc/tty/driver/serial file exports a bunch of metrics (including hardware overruns) already, so add the buf_overrun (as "bo:") to this file.
