Don't know about an entry in sysfs with that entry, but does
man 2 getpagesize
help?

Thanks, that helped. I wrote the following C program which apparently tells me
that my pagesize is 4K:
#include
#include
int main ()
{
printf ("%d\n", getpagesize ());
return 0;
}

Maybe I'm missing something, but why not just look at /proc/swaps?

Because /proc/swaps doesn't show the memory page size.

Oh, I was thinking of the "pagefile size" in Windows, which means (at
least I thought it did) the amount of virtual memory in use. I see
now in the getpagesize man page that this rather is something to do
with how files are stored in memory. I learn more all the time!
