SceSblSmCommForKernel

sceSblSmCommStopSmForKernel

Version	NID
0.990-3.60	0x0631F8ED

This function calls sceSblSmCommCallFuncForKernel with -1 as command_id and then calls sceSblSmSchedProxyWaitForKernel.

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

sceSblSmCommStartSmFromDataForKernel

Version	NID
0.990-1.69	0x992BB9DB
3.60	0x039C73B1

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

sceSblSmCommStartSmFromFileForKernel

Version	NID
3.60	0x7863A0CC

int sceSblSmCommStartSmFromFileForKernel(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.
