It works like this:

loader:start({caps = {
               ...
               },
               log = {"foo", "red" },
               scheduler = L4.Env.user_factory:create(L4.Proto.Scheduler, 0x18, 0x8) },
               "rom/foo");

The 0x8 is the base priority and 0x18 is the upper limit. Any prio in
foo will be increased by 8 and capped at 0x18 (regarding the local view
of the loader, which is likely the global view).
