[j-nsp] Routing Instance for fxp0

[Alex]

So the actual goal is not the OOB vs PFE-forwarded traffic separation but 
rather the opposite?
Even if you are able to achieve what you are aiming at (forward traffic 
between PFE interfaces and fxp0 interface) then at certain rate it would get 
throttled by PFE CPU. And this behaviour (PFE CPU throttling) is not 
configurable AFAIK.
