microblaze: Allow PAGE_SIZE configuration
Allow developer to configure memory page size at compile time. Larger pages can improve performance on some workloads. Based on PowerPC code. Signed-off-by: Steven J. Magnani <steve@digidescorp.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

+ Select the kernel logical page size. Increasing the page size
+ will reduce software overhead at each page boundary, allow
+ hardware prefetch mechanisms to be more effective, and allow
+ larger dma transfers increasing IO efficiency and reducing
+ overhead. However the utilization of memory will increase.
+ For example, each cached file will using a multiple of the
+ page size to hold its contents and the difference between the
+ end of file and the end of page is wasted.
+
+ If unsure, choose 4K_PAGES.
