I think yes:

 2.2.10.2 End-End TLP Prefix Processing:

 The presence of an End-End TLP Prefix does not alter the routing of a
 TLP. TLPs are routed based on the routing rules covered in Section
 2.2.4 .

Which I read as saying that routing is done after stripping all the
prefixes. PASID is a prefix.

Lu, you may want to quote the spec in the commit message to make it
clear.

A strange choice in my opinion, but there it is..
