It is tricky alright.  Talking to an user that likes "everything on" at boot
(something I wouldn't be caught dead doing, but hey, to each his own and all
that...), I found another one...

* In order to not lose the possibility of giving rfkill a default of
UNBLOCK, we could accept the kernel parameter as an override of sorts.  if
it is there, we block the "first state" API calls and use the value of the
parameter.   It wouldn't be that much of an extra mile to go, IMHO, if one
is already doing the rest of the work.
