builddeb-genesis-base installs its build root from REQUIRED_PACKAGES. That list
has no isc-dhcp-client, no ifenslave and no util-linux-extra, so dracut cannot
find dhclient, ifenslave or hwclock. dracut_install prints one line for each and
returns, the script never reads dracut's result, and the .deb is packaged with
three holes. A Genesis image with no dhclient never obtains a provisioning lease.
Add the three packages, and run verify-genesis-payload on the extracted payload
before dpkg-buildpackage. --commands-from reads the command names back from the
module that is about to be built, so a later addition to the module is checked
too. This is what xCAT-genesis-base.spec already does for EL.
genesis_ubuntu_build_root.t fails five of its eight assertions without this
change.

The go-xcat shell behavior tests were written as Perl harnesses, which made the shell assertions harder to read and kept shell-specific setup outside a native shell test framework.
Add BATS to the GitHub Actions dependency set, run BATS tests from the same preserved source tree as the Perl unit suite, and move the go-xcat repository checks into xCAT-test/autotest/bats.

The riscv64 kernel was built without ACPI. Firmware that publishes ACPI
tables and no device tree - server-class RISC-V boards, and edk2 with
acpi=on - therefore left the kernel with no hardware description: it died
before console initialisation, so a node handed the image by grub2 went
silent at ExitBootServices and never reached the discovery action.
Enable ACPI, its error interfaces and the EFI stub the image is already
booted through. Rebuilt with these options, the same image on the same
firmware parses the RSDP, XSDT, FACP, DSDT, APIC, RHCT and SPCR tables,
reaches multi-user and starts discovering, and the kernel now also sees
the SMBIOS entry point the firmware exports.
