manpage patch

Hi there,
I think it'd make sense to add a reference to smbmsg to the jedec_dimm and smbus manpage. Took me a while to find that useful tool.

btw is there an easy tool to preview these manpages? https://roperzh.github.io/grapse/ chokes on these.

You can do something like: man /path/to/share/man/man4/jedec_dimm.4 to view a manual page by its pathname.

    jdec_dimm(4): add a reference to smbmsg(8) to jedec_dimm(4) and smbus(4)

    Add a cross reference to smbmsg(8) which is useful for discovering local
    devices and difficult to find otherwise.
