Then it's not so weird that you have no KVM left in your bisect log.

We can look at smaller suspicious parts of the repository, until we
find the good one.  For example, after testing before/after the KVM
merge, you could test before/after the net-next merge (that would be
commit f4f142ed4ef835709c7e6d12eaca10d190bcebed presumed good, and
commit ae045e2455429c418a418a3376301a9e5753a0a8 presumed bad).
