Yes. I spent some time to trace how to work on PPC. But the code is a bit long,
I am not clear on how the indirectIO there was supported.
I noticed there are CONFIG_PPC_INDIRECT_PIO and CONFIG_PPC_INDIRECT_MMIO on PPC.
It seems that only CONFIG_PPC_INDIRECT_MMIO applied some MSB to store the bus
tokens which are used to get iowa_busses[] for specific operation helpers.
I can not find how CONFIG_PPC_INDIRECT_PIO support multiple ISA domains. It
seems only Opal-lpc.c adopt this INDIRECT_PIO method.
Although CONFIG_PPC_INDIRECT_MMIO is for MMIO, seems not suitable for ISA/LPC
I/O. But this idea is helpful.
what else did I miss??

Yes. 8 bits are enough.
But the maximal PIO on some architectures are defined as ~0 or -1. There is no
any bare space left. Probably we can not ensure the upper 8 bits available.
