Queue Algorithm
Modifier   The queue algorithm modifier field specifies restrictions 
on the algorithm used for reordering commands that are 
tagged with the Simple Queue Tag message.
DQue   A Disabled Queuing bit of 1 indicates that command 
queuing is disabled.
   A Disabled Queuing bit of 0 indicates command queuing 
is enabled.
A value of zero (0) in this field specifies that the target will order the 
actual execution sequence of the commands with a SIMPLE QUEUE 
TAG such that data integrity is maintained for that initiator. 
A value of one (1) in this field specifies that the target may reorder the 
actual execution of the commands with a SIMPLE QUEUE TAG in any 
manner.
