One request in my comments below.

LGTM, Thanks!

PS: I will take a look at the next 2 patches (Patch 8/9 and Patch 9/9) 
in the series soon.

This patch is only adding a warning.  The absence of it shouldn't have 
caused any bad SFrame info.

May I ask you to also include an update to this incorrect comment in 
your patch to something like:

/* SFrame format cannot represent a non-default DWARF return column reg.  */
