The headers /usr/include/asm-generic/errno-base.h and
/usr/include/asm-generic/errno.h defined macros for all system error
numbers and also list the standard error messages associated with them
in comments. In this case, that's

#define ENXIO            6      /* No such device or address */

(from errno-base.h)

The kernel returns this if there was no ARP-table entry for the address
whose ARP-table entry was supposed to be queried.
