No, i did not manage to improve (it should NOT be a dangerous error BTW). I simply think that this issue is because of buggy firmware, so i posted to linux-ide a patch to blacklist this hard disk from using NCQ (because it is triggering spurious completions). I don't know what the "blacklisting policy" is for linux kernel developers, i think that, since there probably are a lot of buggy drives for NCQ and so, a module parameter to disable NCQ while loading libata could be useful. Best regards.
