I don't have any experience in kernel developement and/or bisecting the kernel although I would be happy to test anything that you send to me.
there might be better ways to do this, but I used these commands for my
first kernel bisect.
(I miss a cool how-to on the opensuse wiki pages...)
cd ~
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux
cd linux
git bisect start
git bisect good v3.14
git bisect bad v3.15
cp /boot/config-3.15.6-41.gede5ddf-desktop .config (<<< use correct file)
then change the line "CONFIG_LOCALVERSION" in that .config file
to a better value like "-git"
make localmodconfig
make -j 2 bzImage modules (<<< use 4 or more for more CPU cores)
sudo make modules_install install
reboot
do the tests
cd ~
git bisect
