How do I use NCQ of Intel X25-E(SSD) on ahci(4)?

[Norikatsu Shigemura]

Hi Alexander!

	I have a Intel 64GB SSD(X25-E) and a Western Digital Caviar Green
	1TB HDD (WD10EADS), and use them on ahci(4).  ahci(4) can use NCQ
	of WD10EADS, but doesn't use NCQ of X25-E.

	I confirmed X25-E disabled NCQ.

	According to 'camcontrol identify ada0' and Intel's documentation[*],
	X25-E supports NCQ.

	To use NCQ of X25-E, what should I report to you?
