That's because, "1" was used from the beginning by the controller drivers
as the regular priority. And I thought of using "0" as high priority so
that we can leave the controller drivers unmodified.

Bhaumik proposed an enum but I wanted 0/1 so that the controller drivers
can be untouched. Also, I don't see any immediate requirement for other
priorities.

Will make it a bool then.
