Config_framebuffer_console_rotation

Hi, trying to use a pivoting LCD monitor, I discover that Arch's kernel .config has not set this flag.  It is harmless to set because it does not force rotation, only enables it.

So the suggestion here is to put
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION=y

into the stock Arch kernel.  If there is a reason not to do so, which maybe there is, then I would be grateful to understand it, thanks.  Ref.:

P.S. I am amazed how well the 2.6.26.2 x86-64-bit Arch kernel works in general.  Nice job!
