Back in 2008 there was a patch proposed to make setpriority() apply to
processes as a whole:
[PATCH] make setpriority POSIX compliant; introduce PRIO_THREAD extension.
Ulrich agreed to it in theory, Christoph Hellwig proposed a way to make
it backwards-compatible, and then nothing happened.
Is this something that we'd ever want to fix up, or is the current
behaviour good enough?
