2.2.1 Updated Operating System Support

2.2.2 Resolved Issues
The following VMware driver issues have been resolved in this release:
Added ESX67 IMA Plugin support.
Failed to discover LUNs using IMA plugin in ESXi 6.7 after iSCSI target login.
VMs looses network connectivity:
This release of elxnet resolves an issue seen under ESX 6.0 releases with elxnet version 11.2 (and to a lesser extent on
elxnet 11.1.xxx) where just one or more VMs on a ESX host would lose connectivity to network entities external to the
ESX host, but would continue to be able to communicate to other VMs on the same ESX host. Also in this scenario, other
VMs on the same ESX host would continue to function normally. Choices to recover were to either vMotion the affected
VM/s to another host or reboot the ESX host.
Elxnet regression where ping failed in VXLAN environment.
ESXi 6.6 system not booting up after OOB NIC driver install.
Adopted vmk_DeviceGetParamMaxVfs to get the maximum number of VFs from a PCI device.
