Depends how compliant you want to be.

You can synthesize PI with RDPROTECT/WRPROTECT=1 as long as the
initiator doesn't rely on app tag escapes (we don't). Most non-HDD/SSD
targets work this way.

I would suggest that you return invalid field in CDB for
RDPROTECT/WRPROTECT=3 unless the PI can be made persistent, however.
