About this "forcing all rendering to be transformed, even if you can do rotation in hardware"...isnt' this exactly what happens in the case where we don't use set_mode_major?  Why have differing expectations between the two?

No, because this forces all rendering to be transformed, even if you
can do rotation in hardware (cf. OMAP) and don't need any
transformations applied.  Why not just factor out the transformation
into a helper function (or helper functions?).

Also, as Maarten pointed out, set_mode_major isn't exclusive to KMS.

Cheers,
Daniel
