These -ENOMEM returning should free all memory region allocated
previously.

This kind of code tends to cause 32/64-bit build problem.  Did you test
it on a 32-bit system too?  Anyway, I think things like below should
work:

		unsigned long long addr;

		if (pp->note->bit32)
			addr = pp->note->addr.a32[0];
		else
			addr = pp->note->addr.a64[0];

		ret = e_snprintf(buf, MAX_CMDLEN, "0x%llx", addr);

You can use just LIST_HEAD(sdt_notes) here.

Please see my comment above.

I guess what you need is a 'struct list_head'.

This list code looks strange.

What about SDT_BASE_SCN ?
