Perhaps we need some examples to motivate why the ACP wouldn't be enough.
Some obvious ones to me are:
    a) firmware updates
    b) transfering VM images onto the
       target equipment --- the ASA is a priviledged domain in a hypervisor
       system.
    c) things like mirror port/captures that need to be offloaded quickly
       as they can not be stored.
