[c-nsp] Sup720 - FIB full, software switching

[Pete Lumbis]

I've never tried it, but you might be able to create a MLS rate
limiter/CoPP policy to drop all the FIB Miss packets from being punted and
try to reset the HW CEF table and see if that works. I doubt it will, but
in a pinch it could be worth a try.
