I've checked libdw, it never returns -ERANGE, but there is an
errno conflict in the function convert_variable_location itself:

268 regs = get_arch_regstr(regn);
269 if (!regs) {
270 /* This should be a bug in DWARF or this tool */
271 pr_warning("Mapping for the register number %u "
272 "missing on this architecture.\n", regn);
273 return -ERANGE;
274 }

So shell we change the above errno to -ENOENT or choose another
errno for current 'VARIABLE_LOCATION_INVALID_AT_ADDR', what's
your opinion?

Thanks!
