I guess for not we don't handle PRQ without PASID, right?
No. I'm not sure how to implement it, though there have been some requests
(see discussion on 1/37)

If we don't expect a page response, shouldn't it be filtered by the
IOMMU vendor driver in the first place? i.e. in the vendor IOMMU driver
PRQ handler, it will sanitize the request anyway, for anything that
does not need response, it will not call iommu_report_device_fault().
Right, we're not doing anything with the stop marker anyway. This encoding
is also specific to PCI PRI, and maybe in future architectures, LRW =
0b100 will mean something else and will require a response. So filtering
it in the IOMMU driver makes more sense.

Thanks,
Jean
