Sure, we can ignore fs/bcachefs/ patches.

Note that the proposed workflow would only work through patches coming
through your tree, but patches in other subsystems that could affect
bcachefs might break it in stable trees without being caught by your CI.

I'd recommend integrating your pre-release tests with something like
kernelci, which would let us catch bcachefs-affecting issues coming from
other sources.

What more, if we do the above, we could in the future avoid special
casing bcachefs :)
