the way i solve such bisection problems is to have the patch like below 
applied by a "git-bisect run" scriptlet (and popped off after the test). 
This way all must-have drivers and kernel features are selected for that 
particular testbox, no matter what Kconfig complication there are. 
(except outright config option renaming but those are rare)
