Set the Program Priority Register to medium low value.

+Power ISA 2.07 extends the priorities that can be set to the Program Priority
+Register (PPR). The following functions implement the new priority levels:
+very low and medium high.
+
+@deftypefun {void} __ppc_set_ppr_very_low (void)
+@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@assafe{}@acsafe{}}
+Set the Program Priority Register to very low value.
+@end deftypefun

+@deftypefun {void} __ppc_set_ppr_med_high (void)
+@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@assafe{}@acsafe{}}
+Set the Program Priority Register to medium high value. The medium high
+priority is privileged and may only be set during certain time intervals by
+problem-state programs. If the program priority is medium high when the time
+interval expires or if an attempt is made to set the priority to medium high
+when it is not allowed, the priority is set to medium.
