IMO the best rule is "enable TCQ if and only if 100% of the channel
supports TCQ".

So, two drives on the same channel can do TCQ, if and only if they both
support TCQ. That's a big benefit of bus release, after all,
simultaneously servicing multiple drives. The device-select and service
interrupt semantics are annoying but doable.
