Please don't rebuild the x11 drivers! If it's a kernel bug you only need to
build and check the kernel. X11 shouldn't be involved here.

Or does it work with an old X11 and a new kernel? Could be that it is a new
feature which causes the issue and you need both new kernel and new X drivers
to trigger the problem.

Well in theory that should work fine.

But in practice it is possible (but unlikely) that the build system didn't
track some dependencies correctly. It's just that in this case you usually get
a kernel which don't want to boot at all. So you notice the problem
immediately.

You did nothing wrong, bisect just drifted into a branch which was merged in
4.10, but originally based on 4.8.

That just happens when that branch was under development for a long time before
merging (e.g. started of as something 4.8 based).
