I don't understand what you mean by IU:  SAS tends to think in terms of
frames (at the transport layer).  Information Units as used by the SAS
protocol means specific SSP frames.  Task Management in SAS has to
include SMP, STP and SATA as well.

However, SAM task management functions all map to the callbacks in
struct sas_domain_function_template which are called by libsas.  These
callbacks are also used for all other frame error handling.
