Hardware NAT For LEDE

Flow offload handles normal routing as well.
By the way, there is no need to manually mess with iptables rules anymore.
Just set option flow_offloading 1 in defaults in /etc/config/firewall
On MT7621 you can additionally set option flow_offloading_hw 1 to enable hardware offloading. This will not work with SQM though.
