Yes, it is an only reason I have ever seen.

I think the current iomap can handle multiple busses.

The traditional way (ioremap + read[bwl] for memory space and in[bwl]
for IO space) can be used on multiple PCI busses if pci resources were
properly configured.  (Though IO space address might be a bit strange
value due to single global mips_io_port_base, it works anyway.)  The
current iomap basically do same jobs.
