Reviewed by line is always welcome, thanks!

At first glance we aren't missing much to have small pages supported in
target-mips. But yes, before we change TARGET_PAGE_BITS we have also to
double check that these macros are correctly used in existing code and
there is no place where it was assumed that page size is always 4K.
