.PP
This function calls into netsnmp_set_mode_request_error, sets error_value given a reqinfo->mode value. It's used to send specific errors back to the agent to process accordingly.
.PP
If error_value is set to SNMP_NOSUCHOBJECT, SNMP_NOSUCHINSTANCE, or SNMP_ENDOFMIBVIEW the following is applicable: Sets the error_value to request->requestvb->type if reqinfo->mode value is set to MODE_GET. If the reqinfo->mode value is set to MODE_GETNEXT or MODE_GETBULK the code calls snmp_log logging an error message.
.PP
Otherwise, the request->status value is checked, if it's < 0 snmp_log is called with an error message and SNMP_ERR_GENERR is assigned to request->status. If the request->status value is >= 0 the error_value is set to request->status.

make this be more intelligent about ranges. Right now we merely take the highest level commonality of a registration range and use that.
