- Faster mount detection for linux kernel 5.10+ using openat2 speeding up pod churn rates. On Kernel versions less 5.10, it will fallback to using the original way of detecting mount points i.e by parsing /proc/mounts.

- E2e: tests can now register callbacks with `ginkgo.BeforeEach`, `ginkgo.AfterEach` or `ginkgo.DeferCleanup` directly after creating a framework instance and are guaranteed that their code is called after the framework is initialized and before it gets cleaned up. `ginkgo.DeferCleanup`...

  The `EventsToRegister` in `EnqueueExtension` changed the return value from `ClusterEvent` to `ClusterEventWithHint`. `ClusterEventWithHint` allows each plugin to filter out more useless events via the callback function named `QueueingHintFn`.

- Bump the KubeletCgroupDriverFromCRI feature gate to beta and true by default. The kubelet will continue to use its KubeletConfiguration field as a fallback if the CRI implementation doesn't support this feature.
