*Access control entries (ACEs) that require logging, with the log keyword

This applies to ACL log and VLAN ACL (VACL) log features. ACEs in the
same ACL that do not require logging still process in hardware. The
Supervisor Engine 720 with PFC3 supports the rate limit of packets that
are redirected to the MSFC for ACL and VACL logging. The Supervisor
Engine 2 supports the rate limit of packets that are redirected to the
MSFC for VACL logging. Support for ACL logging on the Supervisor Engine
2 is scheduled for the Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2S branch.

At that point the switch started passing traffic. If I took the ACL off it would stop. Turns out it had a corrupt CEF traffic and putting the any any log on it bypassed the CEF table.
