but not in another. This uses git cherry to find a list of commits to
test each one with.

# PATCHCHECK_END is the last patch to check (default HEAD)
#
+# PATCHCHECK_CHERRY if set to non zero, then git cherry will be
+# performed against PATCHCHECK_START and PATCHCHECK_END. That is
+#
+# git cherry ${PATCHCHECK_START} ${PATCHCHECK_END}
+#
+# Then the changes found will be tested.
+#
+# Note, PATCHCHECK_CHERRY requires PATCHCHECK_END to be defined.
+# (default 0)
+#
# PATCHCHECK_TYPE is required and is the type of test to run:
# build, boot, test.
