[Xorg-driver-geode] [PATCH] Revert "Added FAQ about minimal memory requirements to rotate screen in README."

This reverts commit b47d77360cb428d8892beb93789c83dfa681b26f.

There is no basis on the claims about 32MB minimum video memory for screen
rotation. The other changes that reorganize some options under Common options
can be redone in a proper atomic change of that purpose.

-A: Make sure that at least 32MB of memory is reserved for video operation

 Q: Why doesn't this GEODE driver work at WXGA (wide screen) resolutions?
