I'm guessing I'm too late as usual and the hashes are set in stone, but just in
case I'm not...

This patch (commit b6194b94a2ca, "KVM: VMX: Configure...) has a bug that Maxim
found during code review.  The bug is eliminated by the very next patch (commit
e7f5ab87841c), but it will break bisection if bisection involves running a KVM
guest.  At a glance, even syzkaller will be affected :-(
