[c-nsp] 7500 slot configuration

	I've got a couple of 7507s here, which are going to end up with
identical configs.

2x RSP4
2x GEIPs
1x VIP2-50 w/ PA-MC-T3
1x VIP2-50 w/ PA-2T3 + PA-FE
1x VIP2-50 w/ nothing

My question is this. I know the 7500s have a bus on slots 0+1 and slots
4+5+6, however I'm trying to figure out if there is a performance hit
going between the two buses. My first thought is to put all the active
hardware in 4+5+6 (GEIP+MC-T3+2T3/FE), so it's on the same bus, and the
backup stuff in 0(GEIP), however I'm unsure if this is the best way to
go.

So, does it even matter where cards go in these routers? If so, what's
the best way to organize it?
