[c-nsp] How important is the HW revision of a module?

[Chuck Church]

Hardware release notes tend to mention HW revisions.  Lots of caveats.
Example:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SX/release
/notes/hardware.html

Search on word 'revision'.

Hw.

I think I remember that hw revision was involved in whether the 6724 was DOM
capable or not. Someone else might be able to fill in the exact revision
number when this showed up.
