I believe they are setting the xTSQ value using the sk_pacing_shift field,
which was added here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3a9b76fd0db9f0d426533f96a68a62a58753a51e

AFAIK the intent is only for drivers to set that, and there's no sysctl for
that, but of course you could add a sysctl for testing if you wanted. :-)
