Arguably the envsys(4) API could be used instead of sysctl(3) for setting
stuff like thresholds on a sensor, if the envsys API was slightly
extended.

I have a proposal for an ENVSYS_STREDATA which would support this.
E.g, set the min & max members of envsys_tre_data and use the
proposed ENVSYS_STREDATA to frob it to define the threshold. =20
We use a similar technique abusing the rpms field of envsys_basic_info
and ENVSYS_STREINFO to reset a sensor's alarm.

I'll post about that proposal elsewhere.

cheers,
Luke.
