sch_fq depends on ktime_get(), so it is a no go if you have
clocksource using hpet. pfifo_fast doesn't have such issues.

Another issue is TCP CUBIC Hystart 'ACK TRAIN' detection that triggers
early, since goal of TSO autosizing + FQ/pacing is to get ACK clocking
every ms. By design, it tends to get ACK trains, way before the cwnd
might reach BDP.
