Fair point. You'll then notice that /proc/<pid>/stat (18th field)
exports it too, and it's not under SCHED_DEBUG:
ok:/proc/20# cat stat
20 (migration/5) S 2 0 0 0 -1 2216722496 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -100 0 1 0 70 0

0 17 5 99 1 0 0 0
(see -100 above)
as defined in Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt:
"Table 1-4: Contents of the stat files (as of 2.6.30-rc7)
[...]
priority priority level"
Thanks,
Mathieu
