[c-nsp] Nexus 5K FCoE to FC breakout

[Brad Hedlund]

To your point, exceeding 4gbps per C-N-A is nice but doesn't top the list of
major benefits for Gen2.
What does top the list is a single chip architecture providing a smaller
size and lower power footprint, which also works nicely for blade server
mezzanine form factors.

Benefits for C-N-A's are largely centered around cost and efficiency
optimizations, rather than performance optimizations.
