I even implemented that for i915 long ago by having it rotate all the
planes (+ adjust their coordinates appropriately). But people weren't
too keen on putting that in, so I dropped it.

The only bigger snafu here is omap, which already has a rotation property
on the crtc, except it actually only rotates the primary plane. So
when/if someone adds a real crtc rotation property it has to be called
something else that "rotation". I think I settled on "crtc-rotation"
judging what I have in my last branch on that topic.
