I'm sure you can find the right anwser if you understand why I'm asking this. The way
patchset should be layout is so that at any step applying the set, the driver
should remain stable. If one patch above breaks something, and you fix it in the
next patch, this is not a bisectable set.

git bisect does not know about "sets" and shouldn't need to know about it either.

Nicolas
