well ... your git bisection log does look suspiciously 'good', so something is wrong thee i think :-(
the chance to get 8 'good' bisection points in a row is 1:256. OTOH, the freshest x86 patches are always at the 'end' of the queue - which are also the ones most likely to break anything.
Are you sure the x86/base point is indeed 'good'? You can check it via:
git-checkout -b tmp x86/base
and build+boot it.
