[c-nsp] FWSM failover transparent mode

[Ge Moua]

We experienced the reboots too; there is also bugs in this revision code
train for ethertype ACLs.  We migrated to 3.2(4) & all is fixed.

Not to hijack this thread, but what modules are you using for server
connectivity in your 6513?  We deployed some 6513s as SF switches long ago
(bad decision), and are now swapping them out with the 6509-E chassis due to
the need for additional performance (6748s in all slots).
