Sometimes, the Linus' tree also has a bad quality. :( You'd better to keep
skipping until the buggy serial patches out. I means don't do testing, just
repeat $git bisect skip

The assumption is incorrect, actually, .35-rcx is delivered before final .35
kernel. the rc version is testing kernel. In fact, git bisect is quite smart to
find the next mid commitment in the tree. Could you send out the output of $git
bisect log. Let's see what'd you got.
