Thanks. The new ahci_reset_controller proc solved the problem.
HOST_CAP is now correct for both NCQ and phy speed capability.

I am using kernel 2.6.19.1 and am trying to get NCQ support working. My
Intel chipset (ESB2, see details below) should support NCQ, but it is
not returning the NCQ capabilities bit in the HBA Capabilities
register. Here's the relevant dmesg output:
Please test the latest Linus git-tree. ahci used to clear CAP while
resetting controller expecting it to set supported feature bits again.
Apparently some controllers don't do it resulting in disabled NCQ.
This was fixed recently by the following commit.

[PATCH] ahci: do not mangle saved HOST_CAP while resetting controller
Do not mangle with HOST_CAP while resetting controller. The code is
there for a historical reason. The mangling breaks controller feature
detection and 0 PORTS_IMPL workaround code.
This problem was spotted by Manoj Kasichainula.
