Not sure what that has to do with bisect changes?

You really want bisection first. The reason is that you don't want ever
growing patches, you want smaller and smaller patches. For instance the
rt-mutex-core.patch is way too large, you wouldn't want to fold my
PICK_FUNCTION changes into that patch since that would just make
rt-mutex-core larger ..
