First CSCO box to support policing unknown unicast is EARL7.5 but it is 
per chassis instead of per port. I'm not sure if any Cisco can support
per port unknown unicast policing, but if Nexus7k/EARL8 doesn't do it,
I'm betting there isn't any box which does it.
It is one of the two big WTFs I have with Cisco switches, the 2nd is
inability to limit port MAC count without also employing port-security,
which murders convergency budget.
