One Line Summary

It's useful to have bots automatically test proposed patches and notify authors when they
fail to compile in certain configurations. Currently for Clang, a few folks interested in supporting it email
authors when patches break things, but regression finding is currently not automated for Clang. I'd like to
pick some brains as to what is a smart way to automatically test proposed patches for a seemingly limitless
number of kernel configurations.
