priorities should not be defined individually but as a whole for the BSP 
: how can you choose a single IRQ priority when you do not know the 
other irq priorities? So an API with individual priorities at connect is 
just plain wrong I think. Side comment : the notion of priority is less 
rich than the notion of irq masking set...
