When a script does a *ubacktrace(), if it encounters vma regions that
have no unwind/symbol data preloaded, it should emit some sort of 
diagnostic that would help a user rerun the script with the -d options
needed.

------- Additional Comments From mjw at redhat dot com  2010-07-14 15:10 -------
We most likely do have the vma name, this will then be printed at the end of the
backtrace after the hex-address. But this is the "short-name", not the full path.

Ideally we would track the build-ids of all file mapped vmas that we encounter,
then we could give an error message like the systemtap translator already gives
when it detects missing debuginfo
