[PATCH v2 0/6] docs: verify/bisect: fine tuning, testing fixes, build host, order

[Thorsten Leemhuis]

A quick series with various improvements for
Documentation/admin-guide/verify-bugs-and-bisect-regressions.rst after
receiving feedback on the text or seeing people struggle with certain
tasks.

* The first two patches contains various fixes and some fine tuning.

* The third is mainly a layout improvement that results in a somewhat
  large patch.

* The fourth adds instructions for later testing of reverts, fixes, or
  newer versions. This was already hinted at; but during some early
  work on Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst to better
  reconcile the two it seemed wise to cover this properly here.

* The fifth patch briefly outlines how to build kernels on a different
  host; it came into being after a second user within one week asked for
  this. That also allowed the text to briefly cover cross-compilation.

* The sixth makes users that face a regression within a stable series
  test that series first before they are told to test mainline.

Hi! While at it let me mention one more thing unrelated to the changes
that came up where I'm unsure if the current approach by the text was
a wise choice:

* Should the document tell users to avoid mainline during merge windows?

Some input from the community on this would be splendid.

Ciao, Thorsten

P.S.: Not totally sure, but I think this should go into 6.9 as this is
a new document; if not I guess it would be wise to pick the first two,
as they fix bugs.
