[c-nsp] MPBGP, CEF drops and upgrade from 12.4.4 to 12.4.24

[Karl Putland]

Well... so it works in 12.4.4 but not 12.4.24 as configured.

I had wanted to use the global instead of specifying an interface. I don't
remember the train of thought for that right now as the config has been in
place for over a year.

I also wanted to avoid putting any static routes in the Customer VRFs and
instead use MPBGP to import the routes from vrf VOIP. So that I could
maintain all of the routes to be shared in a single table.
