You mean PIO. I agree with all your points here. The only thing I
saw as an option would be to add a PIO BAR that is an exact mirror
of the MMIO BAR if and only if:

 - PIO is indeed significantly faster on platforms we care about

and/or

 - There is significant simplification in things like BIOSes in
   using PIO over MMIO

I personally don't care and would chose to use MMIO always including in
firmware on ppc.

Cheers,
Ben.
