[c-nsp] 3640 and 3DES IPSec

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

Oh come off it, there's been reports of problems with CEF for
years.  And it hasn't gone away anytime soon, I had a new
load-balanced ip cef setup blow chunks running 12.2 IOS about
3-4 months ago on a 3620.  I finally threw the config in the trash
and went to MPPP and it's run fine ever since.

The only time I've had CEF work right was on our 7206's running
12.2 and none of them are doing load balancing.  And that only
happened in the last year or so, previously I'd get random reboots
on them when it was enabled.
