I would recommend just leaving it hardwired to 4K. The benefits of larger pages are rather questionable, especially on systems without tons of RAM, and it's an endless source of problems.
The commit that added the option, ba9c4f88d747 ("microblaze: Allow PAGE_SIZE configuration"), was rather nebulous with "can improve performance on some workloads".
On PowerPC, the benefits of larger pages are mainly for the hashed page table code, which I don't think exists anywhere else.
