[c-nsp] Fibre Channel over SDH STM64

[Jared Mauch]

	I would have to imagine something like this would be up your alley:

http://www.mrv.com/sites/default/files/datasheets/us_pdfs/mrv-fd-dmr10g.pdf

	This should take an 8G fiber channel SFP+ and allow it to come out
in a 10G SDH framing.  Reverse on the other side and it "should" just work.
