[c-nsp] Earl NDE Task (sup 720)

[Ian Cox]

In 12.2(18)SXE code for PFC switched packets the SP sends the packets 
out via inband rather than sending them to the RP. So changing to 
12.2(18)SXE or higher release for PFC switched traffic reduces the 
CPU of the RP, but increases the SP CPU load slightly.  So the fairly 
old ones I guess are running 12.2(18)SXD or earlier code.
