[c-nsp] IOS-XR 5.3.3 add Yang Models

[Christian Kildau]

Hi all,

sorry for not replying earlier.

We will continue evaluating YANG in the lab as we have now upgraded one box
to 6.0.1 and there is Cisco-IOS-XR-ipvX-acl-cfg.yang.
Currently we still have other issues with 6.0.1 like totally broken
netflow...

Best regards,
Chris
