Where one would find documentation that tells one which drivers
support NCQ and which don't? Does the sili dirver support NCQ? sII3512
is supported by pciide, and not by the sili driver (drive gets
detected wd0, it's a SATA 1), while sii3124 is handled by the sili
driver, but the man page doesn't mention NCQ (this card supports it).

Thanks.
