RTFM. :-)
SPL(9) FreeBSD Kernel Developer's Manual SPL(9)
NAME
splbio, splclock, splhigh, splimp, splnet, splsoftclock, splsofttty,
splstatclock, spltty, splvm, spl0, splx - manipulate interrupt priorities
...
Each driver that uses interrupts is normally assigned to an interrupt
priority group by a keyword in its config line. For example:
device foo0 at isa? port 0x0815 irq 12 tty vector foointr
assigns interrupt 12 to the ``tty'' priority group. The system automati-
cally arranges for interrupts in the xxx group to be called at a priority
>= splxxx ().
