I wouldn't recommend that approach. Bisecting the kernel is actually the common
method of finding such regressions and it's very fast and accurate and also very
easy once you got the hang of it.

You just need a handful of git commands, a cross-compiler and the basic knowledge
how to build a kernel yourself. Cross-building a kernel isn't much different as
building a kernel natively.
