xCAT builds and runs on aarch64, but two pieces were missing for an EL10
aarch64 management node:
- No compute.rhels10.aarch64.{pkglist,exlist,postinstall}, so genimage
fell back to the generic EL8/9-shaped compute.pkglist (dhclient,
busybox-anaconda), which does not resolve on EL10 aarch64. Add the rh
files (same content as the other EL10 architectures) with alma/rocky
aliases, following the x86_64/ppc64le layout.
- xCAT.spec had Requires blocks for x86, ppc and riscv64 but none for
aarch64, so an aarch64 install pulled no ipmitool-xcat. Add the block,
mirroring riscv64: ipmitool-xcat plus ipxe-xcat (an aarch64 management
node can serve x86 nodes); the x86-only PXE stack stays excluded.
Tests: extend el10_netboot_dhcp_client.t to the aarch64 lists and add
aarch64_packaging.t for the spec block and the netboot file layout.
