Bug Description
(filing this bug as per Bryce's instructions on bug# 1068442)
The kernel is ignoring rotation events, and this is preventing the Nexus7 from auto-rotating display/input. This is probably going to require plumbing in the sensor driver.

The kernel already exposes accelerometer, gyroscope and magenotmeter readings via sysfs if properly configured.
For screen orientation I think we can manage with only reading the accel bits as seen here (there's a link to a test app there)

Android seems to only be using polling and raw accel readings from the kernel and not offloading the task to the MPU6050 firmware.
