IIRC it had been introduced to implement priority boost on a semaphore release - a concept that didn't work out well, and has been removed completely in the mean time AFAICT.
Hmm; any chance the reason was that it caused priority inversions?
So I guess we can probably remove it, but someone should have a closer look indeed ;-)
I'd like it to be kept there :) But for a different purpose, of course. Probably base_priority, and then priority would semantically mean "current, actual priority".
