[c-nsp] Stability of NX-OS with FCoE/10GB

[Pavel Skovajsa]

We are running something very very similar (8x2232 FEX) per pair of 5596UP
and so far they are doing fine. Just for fun, you might want to uprade to
N1(3):

  kickstart image file is: bootflash:///n5000-uk9-kickstart.5.2.1.N1.3.bin
  kickstart compile time:  12/4/2012 1:00:00 [12/04/2012 09:53:21]
  system image file is:    bootflash:///n5000-uk9.5.2.1.N1.3.bin
  system compile time:     12/4/2012 1:00:00 [12/04/2012 11:40:13]
