[c-nsp] max mac-addresses on a 3CXL/3BXL chassis

[Tassos Chatzithomaoglou]

Although the operating mode of a 7606/RSP720-3CXL (12.2(33)SRB2) is PFC3BXL (due to a 3BXL card), i can see 96k as the maximum 
number of mac-addresses on the SUP, which means i'm not loosing one of the advantages of 3CXL mode. Am i missing something here?
