I can't see here whether you are using ahci(4) or ataahci from ata(4).
In last case (from the beginning) there is no NCQ by definition.
If you are using ahci(4), and 2 tags you are talking about were reported
by `camcontrol tags ...`, then quite likely your device doesn't support
NCQ at all, but CAM submits two command at a time to the queue-aware
controller just to hide some inter-request latencies.
If both device and controller support NCQ, you should see such message
during probe:
ada0: Command Queueing enabled
PS: I can't confirm that problem exist on 88SX6121 -- I have no such
hardware. But I have seen user complaining about it and that is what
Linux also does.
