Some quick notes about the eeprom.o module and decode_dimms.pl.
Kernel driver `eeprom.o'
========================
EEPROM Module
-------------
Status: Complete and well-tested
Supported chips:
* Any EEPROM chip in the designated address range
Prefix `eeprom'
Addresses scanned: I2C 0x50 - 0x57 (inclusive)
Datasheet: Publicly available from Intel
Author: Frodo Looijaard <frodol@dds.nl> and Philip Edelbrock
<phil@netroedge.com>
Module Parameters
-----------------
* checksum: int
Only accept eeproms whose checksum is correct
* force: short array (min = 1, max = 48)
List of adapter,address pairs to boldly assume to be present
* force_eeprom: short array (min = 1, max = 48)
List of adapter,address pairs which are unquestionably assumed to contain
a `eeprom' chip
* ignore: short array (min = 1, max = 48)
List of adapter,address pairs not to scan
* ignore_range: short array (min = 1, max = 48)
List of adapter,start-addr,end-addr triples not to scan
* probe: short array (min = 1, max = 48)
List of adapter,address pairs to scan additionally
* probe_range: short array (min = 1, max = 48)
List of adapter,start-addr,end-addr triples to scan additionally
Description
-----------
This is a simple EEPROM module meant to enable reading the first 128 bytes
of an EEPROM (on a SDRAM DIMM). This module will probably need to be at

Also note that the script assumes that _all_ the eeproms belong to DIMMs,
which may not be the case.
