Indeed, forgot about the Constant table, we should think about db design here
carefully.

If we make elfchk to print something user-readable for unknown tags (I hope
we'll produce such a patch soon), we'll need values for all known tags. We can
store them in the Constant table, as well (and drop DEvalue field at all), but
this will lead us to situation where some constants are not in LSB, but should
not be dropped from the db, because they are still used by checkers. This is
not good - some entries in the Constant table will have some additional
semantics not reflected in db schema. Usually this also leads to confusion,
sooner or later...
