[c-nsp] QOS Configuration Help

I've experienced and tried this only on the supV's. I would assume, however
never tested to see the same results on the 4948 since they are pretty much
identical from a os/platform standpoint. A good hint is if the 4948 will
actually even LET you place "qos" commands on the port channel itself. If it
will, I would apply them there too. Unless someone can tell this would
actually hurt something. The 3560/750 won't let ya do it.

HTH,
