I think coldfire gets it right here, using PCI_IOBASE to find the start of
the window and a zero io_offset:
#define PCI_IOBASE ((void __iomem *) PCI_IO_PA)

This still looks like the same thing to me, where you have inb() take a
zero-based port number, not a pointer. The effect is the same as the
coldfire version, it just uses a custom inline function instead of the
version from asm-generic/io.h.

For these three options, we definitely need HAS_IOPORT, which would
imply that some version of inb()/outb() is provided. The difference between
using a custom PCI_IOBASE (or an open-coded equivalent) and using
a zero PCI_IOBASE in combination with registering PCI using a custom
io_offset is whether we can use drivers with hardcoded port numbers.
These should depend on a different Kconfig symbol to be introduced
(CONFIG_HARDCODED_IOPORT or similar) once we introduce them,
and you could decide for m68k whether to allow those or not, I would
assume you do want them in order to use certain legacy ISA drivers.
