Add a description of what the different eeprom decoding scripts do.

Line 
1This directory contains scripts to decode the data exposed by the eeprom
2Linux kernel driver.
3
4* decode-dimms.pl (perl script)
5  Decode the information found in memory module SPD EEPROMs.
6
7* decode-vaio.pl (perl script)
8  Decode the information found in Sony Vaio laptop identification EEPROMs.
9
10* ddcmon (perl script)
11  decode-edid.pl (perl script)
12  Decode the information found in monitor EEPROMs. Both scripts require
13  an access to the DDC channel of the monitor. This is typically provided
14  by framebuffer drivers. decode-edid.pl additionally requires parse-edid,
15  which is part of the read-edid package. ddcmon prints general
16  information, while decode-edid.pl prints timing information for
17  inclusion into your X11 configuration file.
18
19* decode-xeon.pl (perl script)
20  ID ROM data decoding for Xeon processors. Support for sysfs is still
21  missing, so this script doesn't work with 2.6 kernels yet.
