SAS-1.1 CJTPAT

Every SAS phy should have a way to repeatedly generate CJTPAT; otherwise
it cannot be tested against the jitter requirements.  There is currently
no standard way to invoke this; a mode page (in targets) or SMP page (in
expanders) to put it into such a mode would suffice.

You should avoid sending ALIGNs during the pattern.

Since it's just a transmit pattern, I don't understand your question
about error primitives.  The pattern does not normally flow through an
expander.  Although the example in table A.4 shows how to put the
pattern into the format of an SSP data frame, it's not really intended
to be used as normal SSP traffic flowing through an expander.
