the best way to bisect the x86.git-only commits is to do:

  git-bisect bad x86/latest
  git-bisect good x86/base

the 'base' branch is the upstream tree that x86.git is based against. 
This will minimize the number of bisection points as well, because 
you'll only bisect x86.git patches.

[ and make sure you test x86/base first to establish that it's truly
  'good' :-) ]
