I guess this means libata support for HW-based NCQ.
It also could mean software/driver implemented NCQ, which could work on chipsets not supporting HW-NCQ in unison with a disk having NCQ?

Although I have not updated it in several weeks, folks may wish to refer to the hardware status report as well:

How well does libata work with the newest ULi chipsets?
If not well, is there a possible timeframe?
