[c-nsp] Catalyst 6509 EOS/EOL

[Tom Cooper]

The last date for contract renewal was August 1st of this year. If you
renewed for a 3 year contract, you may still be able to receive TAC support
on the box (it shows up in CSCC therefore you can call in to create a case)
but if there's any hardware problem with the line cards, supervisor(s) or
chassis itself after the last date of support (November 30th of this year),
you will be SOL and won't be able to get any RMA's done for failed hardware.
