For example, since we do not quite deal with PCI domains yet, I have to force pcibios_assign_all_busses() on pmac so that my 3 root busses get re-numbered (else I get 3 trees with conflicting bus numbers all starting at 0). Another case is embedded which can deal with completely unassigned bus numbers.
