[c-nsp] VegasPM process on WS-C3550-24

[Suchy Daniel]

Hi William,
Do you have GigaStack GBIC (WS-X3500-XL) inserted in that box?

These GBICs causes increased CPU utilization when inserted - I have real
experience with that GBIC on C3550 and the same process causing that.
When we replaced that GBIC with normal 1000BaseT/SX, problem disappeared.

In Cisco BugTool you can find (closed) bug CSCdx90515 with severity 6,
with no workaround, and also no impact on platform's forwarding performance.
