Just to say, this does all work, but it takes a few minutes to kick in - 
if you add the data-plane ACL then "clear ip mroute", the routes just 
reappear. They die off a few minutes later - presumably something 
hardware-related.

Can't say I'm loving the NX-OS CLI paradigm for this particular feature 
though - having to merge the unicast and multicast ACEs is a pain, 
absent any templating/"include other ACL" functionality :o(
