I didn't have a struct for priority before, but someone suggested it
would be clearer what the 3rd dword was used for if I added a struct.
Basically just treat the third flag dword as a signed int32.

Would there be any issues if we need to extend the stuct to add an
extra field later?  Also, not all of the fields are necessary.  You
can just allocate 1 dword if you just need the flags dword.  I've fine
to just drop the struct.
