Re: Console rotation problems

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Also in: lkml

Remove bogus usage of test/set_bit() from fbcon rotation code and just
manipulate the bits directly. This fixes an oops on powerpc among others
and should be faster. Seems to work fine on the G5 here.

And here is the fix. Tony, did I miss something ?
