I am not sure if the solution would be to just pass the --skip-compiler-check like we do in tier2 tests? @ykopkova what do you think?

I implemented all @joe-lawrence 's suggestions from the PR above:

• Can we use the updated module.patch/module-LOADED.test that uses xfs and not nfsd (see the rhel-8.10 / rhel-10.2 versions). For whatever reason we didn't make that change in prior rhel-9 rebases
• Likewise, for some reason the rhel-9 tests dropped new-function.patch and symvers-disagreement-FAIL.patch somewhere along the way. Can you see if those can be added back to the 9.8 suite?

Also pointed to a test-plan branch with --skip-compiler-check argument added to the test.

edit:

Calling only the rhel9.8 tests, since we're not touching anything else for now.

Yep, use --skip-compiler-check for this one
