For example, in your case, since you had certain requirements of
support that simply didn't exist earlier, something like

   git bisect requires v2.6.38

would have been really useful - telling git bisect that any commit
that cannot reach that required commit is not even worth testing.

You can already have this with

   git bisect good v2.6.38

It sounds a bit unintuitive, but with a slight mind-twist it can even be
regarded as correct in a mathematical sense: when the precondition is
false, the result is true. ;-)
