Seems ok, but there are a lot of "magic numbers" sprinkled around, which
could possibly be better expressed as named constants / macros. E.g. in
ldm_privhdr_parse(), ldm_tochdr_check(), as the array size in line 434,
in the switch block in lines 635, etc. I don't think it's a big problem,
though.

You could use SLIST_FOREACH_SAFE in ldm_vmdb_free(), but that's also not
a problem.

You have a lot of deeply nested loops in ldm_vmdb_parse() and others,
which may be "flattened" by removing the inner loops into separate
functions (so you don't run into the 80 column limit so often), but
again, not a problem.

Looks ok.
