 The kernel is not used for -s... you can see all that in the envstat(8)
 source. 
 
 I was talking about the -m flag (that uses ENVSYS_SETDICTIONARY)
 and I don't see why you should ask the kernel for the -s flag.
 
 The -s flag what it does is:
 
 	- Receive global dictionary, check if specified sensor or
            sensors are found in the array with key "device name".
 	- Return error if any of these sensors were not found.
