Cisco documentation is always fun to work with :-) - and in the particular
case of ASR9k, the only complete and correct documentation seems to be the
answers that "Xander" gives on supportforums.cisco.com...

ignore everything that talks about "Trident" - that's the old ASR 9000
line card architecture, ASR9001 is "Typhoon" (the soon-to-be-old as-well
architecture, to be replaced by "Tomahawk"), and you'll find:

memory for L2 and L3 and therefore the profile command discussed
above  is not applicable to the Typhoon based linecards
