Just make sure that the 6500s are set to handle "jumbo" packets.  Otherwise
you'll run into nasty and non-obvious black hole problems.

But besides this, it will "just work" - that's what we do in one of our
locations.  7301 on one end, L2-only 6500/Sup1A in between, 7600/Sup720
on the other end.  Works.
