This ioctl is used to signal the drivers that the screen is rotated, not to make the drivers rotate the screen.
- add a driver-specific "rotation_set" function
- implement Intel's rotation_set by setting the right values to the PIPECONF registers.
The idea is that when user-space does rotation, it can call this ioctl to inform the Kernel that we have a rotation. This feature is needed by the KVMr feature of VPro.

Couldn't this be done by just adding a property instead of a ioctl?
Also the name make it sound like you are setting the rotation and not just setting a hint, so the word hit should probably be in the name.
