* Currently, pods that use a `guaranteed` QoS class and request whole CPUs might not restart automatically after a node reboot or kubelet restart. The issue might occur in nodes configured with a static CPU Manager policy and using the `full-pcpus-only` specification, and when most or all CPUs on the node are already allocated by such workloads. As a workaround, manually delete and re-create the affected pods. (link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OCPBUGS-43280[OCPBUGS-43280])

* On systems using specific AMD EPYC processors, some low-level system interrupts, for example `AMD-Vi`, might contain CPUs in the CPU mask that overlaps with CPU-pinned workloads. This behavior is because of the hardware design. These specific error-reporting interrupts are generally inactive and there is currently no known performance impact.(link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OCPBUGS-57787[OCPBUGS-57787]) No newline at end of file

/lgtm
If practical and compatibile with our usual conventions, I recommend we highlight this release note with a higher-contrast background, add a NOTE prefix in uppercase/bold or something along these lines. This is to draw attention to this known issue - if unnoticed by Customers it has potential of causing high impact issues. As long as they are aware of this limitation and accept it it's a much smaller problem.

I did not find a precedence of adding admonitions (warning/important/note) to Known Issues in release note. However, I do see that we have called them out as warnings in the main docs sections:

Additionally, we add a reference to these from the release notes' New features and enhancement where we announce the GA

So, I think we have sufficiently drawn attention to this known issue.
