+`reserved-cpus` is meant to define an explict CPU set for OS system daemons and
+kubernetes system daemons. This option is added in 1.17 release. `reserved-cpus`
+is for systems that do not intent to define seperate top level cgroups for
+OS system daemons and kubernetes system daemons with regard to cpuset resource.
+If the Kubelet **does not** have `--system-reserved-cgroup` and `--kube-reserved-cgroup`,

+This option is specifically designed for Telco/NFV use cases where uncontrolled
+interrupts/timers may impact the workload performance. you can use this option
+to define the explict cpuset for the system/kubernetes daemons as well as the
+interrupts/timers, so the rest CPUs on the system can be used exclusively for
+workloads, with less impact from uncontrolled interrupts/timers. To move the
+system daemon, kubernetes daemons and interrupts/timers to the explict cpuset
+defined by this option, other mechanism outside Kubernetes should be used.
+For example: in Centos, you can do this using the tuned toolset.
