Enable SCTP Support in Linux Kernel Config config-esx_x86_64 and config-esx_aarch64

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Since Kubernetes 1.20, SCTP is marked as a stable feature in Kubernetes link. It's used in telecommunication solutions. We use Photon Linux-esx kernel in Kuberentes host OS. However if we start SCTP applications on PhotonOS, we got error "Failed to listen SCTP. error:protocol not supported".

Describe the solution you'd like

It's best if you can enable some SCTP configs for config-esx_x86_64 and config-esx_aarch64.

• CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_SCTP=y
• CONFIG_IP_SCTP=m
• CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_SCTP=y

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

Additional context

I'm from the Antrea project https://github.com/antrea-io/antrea . It's a container network solution for Kubernetes. We want to enable SCTP workloads on PhotonOS Linux-esx kernel.

Will add the necessary config for SCTP and update you when the rpms are ready.
