	I believe this line goes back to the beginning, prior to git or
bk.  The skb->priority probably meant something different than it does
today.

	In any event, I'm fine with the code change.  There's still no
actual log message, but if Davem is ok with that I'm ok with it, given
the trivial nature of the change.
