Even though ext4 will use by default 4k blocksize on both kernels but
the backing file here belongs to tmpfs (RAM) which operates at 64k page.
Hence the difference in the size of the image between 4k and 64k kernels
looks expected.

# 64k kernel
du -sh /run/ext4
256K    /run/ext4

# 4k kernel
du -sh /run/ext4
84K     /run/ext4

That looks like the right thing to do here.
