If you partition a PA block, the result is PA.

If you partition a PI block, the result is PI.

(Though I wonder if "LIR-PARTITIONED PI" is actually a real thing, and
strictly speaking the documentation quoted *can not* be correct, because
you can't partition "an allocation" into "PI")

More verbose explanation on these values is here:
