Yes, but it might be in the kernel or in Mesa. So if you can try the previous
version of the kernel or Mesa again first, that would help identify which it
is.

Answering your question from IRC: Don't restrict git bisect to a subdirectory
of the kernel or Mesa tree, unless you're 100% sure the problem was caused in
there, or the bisection might give the wrong result.

Also, only declare a commit as good once you're 100% (or as close to that as
reasonably possible) sure that it's not affected by the problem, or again the
bisection might give the wrong result. Take your time to enjoy the commits
where the problem doesn't occur. :)
