As I mentioned a user-space that only uses the management interface would never know that the adapter exists in this case and would thereby be unable to switch it on. If we keep the model that an adapter exists (through the management interface) only when it has been initialized for the first time then we'd still need the kernel to trigger the very first power-on. The only idea that comes to mind for this is to have the kernel detect somehow when user-space is available and then proceed with doing the initial power-on (thereby letting user-space know about available adapters).
