I think Christopher meant that interrupts can either be enabled (sti) or
disabled (cli). Perhaps you need to elaborate on what you mean by
interrupt priority. x86 interrupts are handled on the basis that the lower
the interrupt number the higher the priority, but this is probably not
what you're thinking about.
