This sounds like you need a driver representing those server boards (or
the slots they plug into perhaps) that represents everything about those
boards to userspace, including power switching.  I don't see why you
wouldn't have a driver for that - it's a thing that physically exists
and clearly has some software control, and you'd presumably also expect
to represent some labelling about the slot as well.
