May I ask how you intend to map a single numeric priority on a SIU/CPM 
tandem or OpenPIC/dual 8259 to speak just of PPC.

On most modern processor with a single IRQ level, priorities are managed 
by masks automatically/manually applied when a IRQ occurs. Do you intent 
to stop all interrupts, recompute all the masks that need to be applied 
each time you connect a single interrupt? Priority management should be 
done at global level for all interrupts...
