[j-nsp] pfex: pfe_bcm sflow ipc error 0 on EX4300 VCs running sFlow

[Mickael Do Couto]

Hello,

On our side we have just stopped trying to use those *!!@#**#%**! ex4300 as
they are full of bugs and unusable. We Have today at least 6 bugs
discovered in 2 months trying to put them in production. Waiting for
Juniper to know how to develop a switching/routing software correctly for
this platform.

Have fun!
