Yes, but there are also several types of cases where the issue will be the
same. Namely lockdep. I agree that use after free warnings can have a side
effect, and may be more difficult. But there's many other bugs that remain
consistent across kernels. And if you stumble on one of them, look for it
only.
And if you hit another bug, and if it doesn't crash, then ignore it (of
course this could be an issue if you have panic on warning set). But
otherwise, just skip it.

At least lockdep to lockdep, as when I do manual bisects, that's exactly
what I look for, and ignore all other warnings. And that has found the
problem commit pretty much every time.

Can you tell me that all these examples bisected to the commit that caused
the bug? Because if it did not, then you may have just proved my point ;-)
