[c-nsp] C6k diag failure in lab, need to worry?

[Sukumar Subburayan (sukumars)]

Peter, 

You can ignore this one, as it should not have any impact, after the
second reload.

We have seen this very rarely (once in 100+ reboots, on very few
systems), where an ASIC was not intialized properly, 
and diagnostics was  catching the condition, and resetting the
supervisor.
