VMkernel Error Decoder

This decoder can take either decimal, or hexidecimal error codes in the format of 0x0bad0000. There errors can appear in /var/log/vmkwarning, /var/log/vmkernel and sometimes in the vmware.log of a specific vmware virtual machine. Thanks to Mike Nisk for providing me with all of the data in an easy to import format.
