Thank you for elaboration.
I hoped and still hope that x86 won't be broken so drastically that I
need real bisection.
Above mentioned test cases is somewhat time consuming (yes, I agree
that is ~one time big effort), and for now it seems much bigger effort
than just guess by reading the code. Maybe in the future I'll consider
to do something like this, but I think that U-Boot may gain some
patches and config option to have BAT cases enabled (like predefined
output on the serial when we consider commit is good and some C&C
interface during the test).
