please teach git bisect how to use 2 separate worktrees for the bisection, toggling between them as bisection progresses, so that the end result is 2 compiled kernels, one broken, one good.

perhaps something like

git worktree add A git worktree add B git bisect worktrees A B git bisect start

# and maybe git worktree rename A ok git worktree rename B meh

its a minor convenience, yes, but having it done once right, is better than ad-hoc scripts doing it, each subtly different.
