Why do we need a SATA_ERROR or an STP_ERROR?  I think we should just use
ERROR.

Subject: SAS - SATA_ERROR vs STP_ERROR


What should the "primitive" with four K28.3's be called?  Some options
and the arguments for each: 

1. SATA_ERROR - it's only sent on SATA links, not STP links; all other
K28.3 primitives start with SATA_ 
2. STP_ERROR - it's not defined by the SATA specification, so STP makes
it stand out as a SAS construct 

Note that plain ERROR is a K28.5 based primitive used for SAS links.
