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.
