[c-nsp] ASR900 Family

[Patrick Cole]

James,

The PPPoE server "sort" of works.  Running over a BDI didn't seem to work
properly in my testing which is a requirement for most people to be able
to terminate tagged traffic.  In your testing were you just using a direct
untagged physical interface?

Also pppoe client on the 920 seems to be supported, and I was able successfully
connect using it to a BRAS but in doing so it broke the MPLS forwarding plane
on the router I was testing it on (a reload was the only thing that would 
bring it back into a working state).
