That probably was a mistake

You can try latest git. I was told it has a feature
to tell bisect "I don't know" instead of "good" or "bad".
This can be used if a test kernel doesn't compile, or does
fail because of some other bug.
You can also manually bisect the stuff between your known-good
version of b44 and the bad one. There were only a couple of patches.
You can extract them with git and revert them one by one and see
when it does start working again.
I think it was something like 5 patches or so. Nothing too time consuming.
