[c-nsp] Sup720 MLS rate-limiting and truncated/compact mode

Hello,

Reading the documentation for 12.2SXF and MLS rate-limiters, I see the
following sentence:

"Layer 2 rate limiters are not supported in truncated mode."

tive/configuration/guide/dos.html

Not that I'd be interested in this kind of rate-limiting for anything
other than tests, but I was wondering what "in truncated mode" means
exactly. Is it _only_ in truncated mode, or is one of "pure bus mode" or
compact mode also affected? Like if I happen to have "fabric
switching-mode force bus-mode" configured, or if I only have
fabric-enabled cards?

Thanks,
Peter
