In SAS2r12 table 37, there are a number of events that relate to
received and transmitted primitives.  Some of these e.g., code 23h
Transmitted retry-class OPEN_REJECT count, and code 25h Received AIP
(WAITING ON PARTIAL) count, explicitly call out whether and expander
shall count forwarded versions of these primitives.  The following PHY
Events do not explicitly state what expanders shall do when forwarding
these primitives:
40h
Transmitted SSP frame count
WC
Number of SSP frames transmitted.
41h
Received SSP frame count
WC
Number of SSP frames received.
44h
Transmitted CREDIT_BLOCKED count
WC
Number of times the phy transmitted a CREDIT_BLOCKED.
45h
Received CREDIT_BLOCKED count
WC
Number of times the phy received a CREDIT_BLOCKED.
50h
Transmitted SATA frame count
WC
Number of STP or SATA frames transmitted.
51h
Received SATA frame count
WC
Number of STP or SATA frames received.
60h
Transmitted SMP frame count
WC
