The RS will only generate a Remote Fault (in response to the
detection of Local Fault at its receiver). However, if a
XAUI exists to extend the XGMII between the RS and the PCS
and if the PHY XGXS is not in sync/alignment then it can
generate a Local Fault towards the PCS.

The only valid Sequence value in lane 0 is 0x9C, the
Sequence encoding from table 46-2 & 46-3.
