This function calls sceSblSmCommCallFunc with -1 as command_id and then calls sceSblSmSchedProxyWait.

int sceSblSmCommStopSm(int id, int result[2]);

sceSblSmCommStartSmFromData

Version	NID
1.69	0x992BB9DB
3.60	0x039C73B1

int sceSblSmCommStartSmFromData(int priority, const char *sm_self_data, int sm_self_size, int num1, SceSblSmCommContext130 *ctx_130, int* id);

sceSblSmCommStartSmFromFile

Version	NID
3.60	0x7863A0CC

int sceSblSmCommStartSmFromFile(int priority, char* sm_self_path, int num1, SceSblSmCommContext130* ctx_130, int* id);

Priority is binary: 1 = low, 0 = high. Running a high priority SM module while a low priority one is currently running will suspend it.
