Add the Software NCQ support to sata_nv.c for MCP51/MCP55/MCP61 SATA
controller.  NCQ function is disable by default, you can enable it with
'swncq=1'. NCQ will be turned off if the drive is Maxtor on MCP51 or
MCP55 rev 0xa2  platform.

Thanks, I am using it on 2.6.22-rc7-git5, have run a stress test yesterday night. It seems to be as stable as the previous version. I guess it's safe to turn it on
by default when it gets into Linus' kernels.

I have a question though. Why is the blanket needed for Maxtor drives?
Can't it be narrowed down to certain models? Maybe those models
should be put into libata blacklist...
Not that my current machine is affected, I am just curious.

Best regards,
Zoltán Böszörményi
