A quick series with various improvements for Documentation/admin-guide/verify-bugs-and-bisect-regressions.rst.
* The first patch contains various fixes and some fine tuning.
* The second adds a few instructions for later testing of reverts, fixes, or newer versions. This was already hinted at; but during some early work on Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst to better reconcile the two it seemed wise to cover this properly here.
* The third patch briefly outlines how to build kernels on a different host; it came into being after a second user within one week asked for this. That also allowed the text to briefly cover cross-compilation. ---
Hi! While at it let me mention one more thing unrelated to the changes where I'm unsure if the current approach by the text was a wise choice:
* Should the document tell users to avoid mainline during merge windows?
Some input from the community on this would be splendid.
Ciao, Thorsten
P.S.: Not totally sure, but I think this should go into 6.9 as this is a new document; but I can split this up if the two latter patches better should go into -next.
