Code at "real-time priority"

I'm using RTAI modules and COMEDI.

"linux/comedilib.h" contains the following:

  /* these functions may not be called at real-time priority */

  comedi_t *comedi_open(const char *path);
  int comedi_close(comedi_t *dev);
  ... ... ...


What is meant by the phrase "at real-time priority" ... from a
task/thread?  If so, at what priority does "init_module()" run?

Thanks for any clarifications!
