That's not really what I had in mind.  I don't want to spend the time 
and effort installing syskaller on my own system; I want to tell syzbot 
to run a particular syzkaller program (the one that originally led to 
this bug report) on a patched kernel.

The syzbot instructions say that it can test bugs with reproducers.  The 
problem here is that there doesn't seem to be any way to tell it to use 
a particular syzkaller program as a reproducer.
