It's not that value.  That's part of the memory timings.

If your motherboard lets you set this, it ought to be in the "PnP and
PCI" section of the BIOS configuration and will be called something like
"PCI latency timer".  Otherwise, you're going to have to go grovelling
around through PCI config space yourself once the kernel's running.
