Did you also install a valid page-table before changing the mode-bit?

Basic answer is, you get an IO_PAGE_FAULT for all translation errors in
the l1 page-table (the one where the page-table root it specified in the
DTE).
For any page-fault in l2 page-tables (where you have one page-table per
pasid) you get a PRI fault. But note that the peripheral PCI device needs to
support ATS and PRI for this to work.
