How can I find what change elsewhere in the kernel tree caused this
breakage?

With bk, you could ask for a per-file revision history of the likely
candidates, and then find the changeset to view the other related
changes.

With git... ?  We don't have per-file revision history so...
Wouldnt a 'git-whatchanged -p <candidates>' help?
