Alex, I am pretty much a 'newb' when it comes to git and the kernel in general and currently git is making my brain hurt severely. When I have the time I will read up more on git and try and work out an easy way to exclude unrelated commits that break my kernel and include bug fix commits that allow me to bisect this issue successfully. Any pointers to articles/howtos on dealing with this specific kind of issue with git?
If there is a commit that doesn't boot or build, you can skip it with: git bisect skip and continue the bisection.
