No NCQ or Speed detected for Intel ICH10 AHCI SATA Controller

[Steven Hartland]

We've got a number of FUJITSU RX200 S5 boxes here where we're seeing
I/O performance issues which looks like its down to AHCI not negotiating
correctly with the controller; specifically the FreeBSD AHCI driver is
unable to detect both the speed capability and possibly more importantly
NCQ support.

Our baseline is 8.3-RELEASE but we've also tested 10-Current r250629

I'm currently suspecting either a BIOS or HW issue, but would appreciate
any ideas people may have, as we do have machines for other manufactures
with fully working ICH10 AHCI.

Relevant entries from a verbose boot:-
