What is "bitmap mode"? Do you mean "present when @bitmap-mode is, else
absent"?

Is @granularity forbidden with @bitmap because it makes no sense?
If yes, then it doesn't actually default to anything then, does it?
Looks like we have
sync 'bitmap' anything else
-------------------------------------------------
bitmap required forbidden
bitmap-mode required forbidden
granularity forbidden optional
Correct?

[Same for blockdev-mirror...]
