[c-nsp] BFD with MP-BGP

When running labels in BGP (in P routers), one has to use BGP between 
loopback addresses (and disable the connected check in BGP). When you
try to use BFD to enable path failure detection, you get an error that 
says BFD can only be used with connected hosts.

Is there a way around this? (e.g. BFD on the static route pointing to 
the loopbacks or similar).

If one is trying to get to fast failover times without OSPF or 
similar... BFD with BGP should be the way to accomplish it.

Thanks.
