What is the problem that the kernel is reporting?

I'm asking because kernelci.org uses javascript, which is not elinks
friendly, and it otherwise means I need to walk over to a different
machine to look at it, and then return to a different machine to finish
writing the email - as a result, I hardly ever look at the kernelci.org
results, and just rely on Olof's results.
