+Subject: [PATCH] kubelet: sort isolcpus allocation when SMT enabled
+
+The existing device manager code returns CPUs as devices in unsorted
+order. This numerically sorts isolcpus allocations when SMT/HT is
+enabled on the host. This logs SMT pairs, singletons, and algorithm
+order details to make the algorithm understandable.
