Review your "/usr/src/linux/drivers/ata/libata-core.c" and search for
"ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ" string to find a list of blacklisted devices in which
kernel avoids enabling NCQ for some reason (slow/broken).

Try reading the bottom of your own email (and now beneath this), where it
correctly quotes Stan. He says that it should be: "ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ".

On my computer /usr/src/linux/ directory does not exist.

I do have deb-src lines in my /etc/apt/sources.list, but have not used
them much. Once I downloaded source for find and made a modification
and rebuilt in order to implement a personal preference.

But now I'm looking at debian.org and having difficulty figuring out
what to do to get my /usr/src/linux directory created and
populated. Can someone recommend a howto for deb-src? Is there a
distinction between sid and testing in deb-src?

There is no reason to build kernels under /usr/src/linux. Any directory
where you have write access is fine.

That's because you don't compile your own kernels (or at least on that PC).

Google for "ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ"
