I do not like ifdefs here, do you think we could write:

		client->buffer[client->tail] = (struct input_event) {
			.input_event_sec = event->input_event_sec,
			.input_event_usec = event->input_event_usec,
			.type = EV_SYN,
			.code = SYN_DROPPED,
		};

to ensure all padded fields are initialized? This is not hot path as we
do not expect queue to overfill too often.

Thanks.
