It sets the priority field of the route entries installed by Babel.
That's the prio field in "ip route add... prio 42".  It doesn't do
anything at the data plane, it only tells the kernel which route to
choose if there are multiple routes for the same destination, somewhat
like Cisco's "Administrative distance".

Think running two routing daemons (or a routing daemon and dhcp) on
the same node, and telling the kernel which default route to actually
use.
