[c-nsp] Soft Reconfiguration In?

Hi Murphy,

If you are already taking a full-table, then the additional memory usage is 
not so much ( - perhaps 10% of total BGP usage).

If you have only a partial table or are only accepting a few routes, then the 
usage increase, as soft-reconfig is storing the prefixes which haven't 
entered the BGP routing table.

cheers
