Yes, the scheduler can use whatever criteria it wants to allocate a 
processor to the threads is manages.

A thread has not only one priority. It has at least one priority per 
scheduler instance. With the locking protocols it may also inherit 
priorities of other threads. A thread has a list of trees of trees of 
priorities.
