The maximum contiguous block size cannot be lower than a huge page, so
that's why the 'range' are here.

Which makes me think that there should probably be a "range 11 64 if
MIPS_HUGE_TLB_SUPPORT && PAGE_SIZE_8KB" and the same for 4KB pages.

With a lower value and huge pages enabled in the config, the kernel
probably would not boot.

Cheers,
-Paul
