This change also means that all routed TCP traffic will use
DST_NOCACHE routes as well.

It's not a requirement to turn off early demux on a router, and I very

acceptable.

There are quite a number of unwanted side effects from this change, so
I think we'll have to revert unless you can fix up all of the relevant
cases quickly.
