In order to do this, call IODataQueuePeek to get the entry.  Then call IODataQueueDequeue with a NULL data pointer.  That will cause the head to be moved to the next entry, but no memory to be copied.

If a data pointer is provided, it will copy the data into the memory region if there is enough space available as specified in the dataSize parameter.  If no data pointer is provided, it will simply move the head value past the current entry.
 * @param dataQueue The IODataQueueMemory region mapped from the kernel.
 * @param data A pointer to the data memory region in which to copy the next entry data on the queue.  If this parameter is 0 (NULL), it will simply move to the next entry.
 * @param dataSize A pointer to the size of the data parameter.  On return, this contains the size of the actual entry data - even if the original size was not large enough.
 * @result Returns kIOReturnSuccess on success.  Other return values possible are: kIOReturnUnderrun - queue is empty, kIOReturnBadArgument - no dataQueue or no dataSize, kIOReturnNoSpace - dataSize is too small for entry.
