Interesting.

Does anyone know the rationale behind this way of setting the MTU on ths 
platform? It seems a bit peculiar, and as you note, a too-high L2 MTU is 
seldom harmful, so you would think per-interface (or even per-device) 
would suffice.

FWIW N7k seems to work "normally" i.e. set physical interface & SVI MTU 
in the interface config.
