Found the culprit in arch/arm/include/asm/fb.h

Fix has been pushed to github. X11 with fbturbo video driver confirmed working and rotated, xrandr is convinced my HDMI monitor is 720x1280 ;-)

PS it's kinda weird how much faster xterm is than the framebuffer console... I mean I know I broke "fast ywrap" but xterm is clearly doing fine without... oh well

Just guessing here, but maybe Xterm draws to normal cached memory, which is then copied to the display buffer, and fbconsole works directly on the display buffer. Doing scrolling in cached memory must (?) be much faster than without caching.
