What are the options for people whose mainboards aren't blessed with AHCI, but use for instance VIA or older Promise chips? Buy new hardware? Or wait until someone comes up with an implementation? Can this queueing be emulated by software (libata or the libata chipset driver) or would such be mentioned in Jeff's list as "host-based queueing"?
