I did git checkout 45bdbcfdf241 and built the resulting kernel
4.4.0-rc5. This one has now been running for ten hours, which is
threefold the longest time that a faulty kernel has held before a VM
experienced corruption. So I guess, that one is fine.

Since 4.5.0-rc1 is bad, I guess I do:

git checkout 45bdbcfdf241
git bisect start
git bisect good
git bisect bad v4.5.0-rc1

right?

Greetings
Marc
