[j-nsp] VPLS Hardware Not present

[Keegan Holley]

We are using the following to dedicate fpc bandwidth instead of disabling
tunnel services.  I've been told it's faster but disables a gig interface to
cannibalize the asics.  It however requires a fpc restart.  I suppose a RTM
is in order.  Thanks all for the input.
