From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  spl /S-P-L/ [abbrev, from Set Priority Level] The way traditional Unix
     kernels implement mutual exclusion by running code at high interrupt
     levels. Used in jargon to describe the act of tuning in or tuning out
     ordinary communication. Classically, spl levels run from 1 to 7; "Fred's
     at spl 6 today" would mean that he is very hard to interrupt. "Wait till
     I finish this; I'll spl down then." See also {interrupts locked out}.
