I apprecate the help that the kernel test robot is giving us, but this
constant bisection is a bit annoying, especially for stuff that we
already know about (like this one), or stuff that is years old (like
other reports.)

What exactly are you trying to help out with here for the stable kernel
trees?  Why not just always test on the latest release and go from
there?

And this specific should be resolved in the next release.

thanks,
