Well... from what I've read, the WD bridged drives do have queueing
because they had an ATA-100 implementation of it.

I'd like to know as well.

Currently the ATA driver does not support neither TCQ nor NCQ.

For this to work at all both disk and controller needs to support the mode in question. I've just gotten my hands on one of the new Promise controllers that supports NCQ, but I still need disks to get it going.
I do have a few Raptor's that support the TCQ mode but initial testing shows little benefit from it so it moved to the backburner...
