There isn't really an easy way to do it sorry.

If you download the page for the revision:
http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/branch/linus/head/8834f5600cf3c8db365e18a3d5cac2c2780c81e5/

With a lot of grep/sed/awk you can get a list of the URLs for all the
builds eg. one would be:

http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/13676551/

And then you can just tack on "log/" to get:

http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/13676551/log/

Which you can wget and grep.

But that's all a bit of a pain.

I have on my todo list to add json formatted build results and revision
pages, which would make it quite a bit simpler. But of course I haven't
had time to do it yet :/

cheers
