CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE is currently set to 8K, which is a bit on the
smaller side, lets bump it up to 64K so that a bigger RAM_DISK can
be used with defconfig.

Every time I build exynos_defconfig, I need to manually change RAM_SIZE
to match my ramdisk image size. I am not sure what is the best ramdisk size
might be, but bumping it to 64K might be a reasonable one.

Is there still a reason to use ramdisks these days? If 8MB is not
enough to have a useful initrd, that might mean that everyone else
uses initramfs and you should just do the same thing?

There is not specific reason to still use ramdisks, but I feel till we remove this config, lets modify it to be used by few like me.
I am ok with either way.
Thanks
Then we can also remove this option here.
