For linux-next it's just green/red now.

We've added it to have an "upstream merge will break bpf" signal,
because it happened regularly.

For bpf list we run on every incoming patch, so regressions are detected
quickly. Not feasible to do that for *every* upstream patch, we'd need
much more compute.

An auto-bisection is something I thought about, but never got to it.
These days with LLMs this may be easier to set up though.
