[c-nsp] 6500/7600 with Sup720 opinion

[Greg Schwimer]

You do need the 3b or 3bxl variant for MPLS.  I haven't tried it on the 
vanilla Sup720.

Regarding SXD, I suggest reviewing release notes.  Use the bug toolkit.  
The issues we've seen are sure to pop up, along with many others.  Some 
revisions have been deferred I think.  Bug fixes in each revision are 
significant.
