This bisection seems unlikely.

I *think* what is going on is that the previous kernels ended up with
boot failures:

and then when that went away (thanks to the commit you bisected to),
the "genirq: Flags mismatch" warning showed up because it now got past
that original bug.

I'm not sure what the fix to the 0day bisection should be. Maybe add
some test that the last "good" kernel actually booted?

That's right. It's a bug fix that discloses a less serious warning.

Yes, we do have tests on whether the parent boots fine or has more
serious boot errors, however they are wrongly bypassed when we
recently try to add a new test to report out errors which look
relevant to the code change.

I'll fix it up, sorry for the noise!

Boot tests are pretty noisy and often a commit and its parent commit
both have error/warnings. A better long term solution would be to
compare their time stamps to get the clue whether it's a bug fix that
makes the kernel live longer to produce another warning.

Thanks,
Fengguang
