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.

I finally gave this a thorough review.
Overall, good work. The state transitions all seem solid. I made
several minor changes and cleanups, and checked it into the 'nv-swncq'
branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev.git
Two hurdles before I'm ready to push upstream:
* someone please verify my minor changes did not break anything; I
don't have real hardware
After reading the diff between the original and your cleaned up version
it seems both the change from 4 individual flags to a single integer and the
nv_swncq_bmdma_stop() -> __ata_bmdma_stop() transition are obviously
correct.
I attached a small cleanup patch which may make one check a bit more
readable.
However, can you explain this chunk below? Why isn't it needed?

I will test the code without this locking. Can you give me a better idea
besides beating both my disks with separate requests? Say, bonnie++
and simultaneous hdparm -tT on both?
