from version to version and it's just not worth it.

Invert the priority scheme, so that PRI_MIN is now the lowest priority
and PRI_MAX is now the highest priority.  This should reduce student
confusion (and at the same time subtly frustrate attempts to resubmit
work from previous quarters).

The lock functions don't really need to disable interrupts themselves,
