The rtprio() call affects the KSEG in which the thread runs.
So it is the KSEG that has the realtime priority, and all
threads that run in that KSEG will be affected.  This doesn't
affect other KSEGs, so if you are creating system scope
threads (each has their own KSEG and KSE), they will only
be affected if you call rtprio() from their threads.
