According to the Q&A it is the WS-X6904-40G-2T

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-6800ia-switch/qa_c67-728684.html

Q.    What are the different components of the Instant Access solution?
A.     The Instant Access solution requires new Cisco Catalyst 6800ia Instant Access clients and Cisco Catalyst 6500 or 6800 Series Switches (Instant Access parents) with Supervisor Engine 2T and WS-X6904-40G-2T line cards. Instant Access requires Cisco Catalyst 6500 or 6800 Series Switches configured for Virtual Switching System (VSS) mode, and we recommended having a pair of switches to provide the maximum level of redundancy and load balancing. Note: In networks where a pair of Cisco Catalyst 6500/6800 is not available, a single Cisco Catalyst 6500/6800 switch may be used when configured for VSS mode.

As far as I know only the 6904 is supported at this time. There should be new line cards coming out soon so that might change.
