[c-nsp] 6500 series, FIB exception @ dfc

Quick related question.

Can you not reduce the number of MPLS routes on this platform?

User configured :-
---------------
 IPv4                - 768k  
 MPLS                - 1k  
 IPv6 + IP multicast - 120k (default)

Upon reboot :-
-----------
 IPv4                - 768k  
 MPLS                - 16k (default)
 IPv6 + IP multicast - 120k (default)

Notice that it appears to want to still allocate 16K for MPLS even though it's configured to 1k.

"according to documentation", 2T/6T should be able to do 1M, and no TCAM carving needed...

With IPv6 at ~70k today, there *should* be sufficient headroom... (or, in other words, even a Sup720-XL would be fine if carved at 800k/100k)
