In which controller classes does it belong?
Promise claims it should have NCQ how to enable ?

If it claims NCQ and 3.0Gbps support, I would guess 205xx

Does this mean, changing :

{ PCI_VDEVICE(PROMISE, 0x3d17), board_20319 },
to
{ PCI_VDEVICE(PROMISE, 0x3d17), board_2057X },

in sata_promise.c would do the trick to activate NCQ of this board?

Does this hurt?
Do I need to do something else to get NCQ working?

Heh, no, a lot more than that... NCQ is not supported at all in the
driver. If someone is looking for a project, the docs are now available
for them to work on NCQ.

I would take it but I am not able to do the programming, but I would
volunteer in testing.
