It is often used as an interrupt mask - the number which is used as a priority
is inevitably machine specific, and prevents code in the module from being
interrupted by particular interrupt sources.  For example, a system that did 
round robin schedulling on a set of processes would not want the scheduling
routine to be interrupted until it had finished handling the clock interrupt
(in particular it would not want to be interrupted by another clock interrupt)

Wow, that is a big one, as it is fundamental to the whole language.  Have you 
got hold of any introductory text book?
