Granularity bits. Valid values: 0 - 63.
Can we really theoretically go as low as 0, or are we constrained by the
fact that cluster_bits must be at least 9?
Bitmaps in qcow2 are abstract, they are not necessary related to
BdrvDirtyBitmaps.. We do not know how the will be used in future, so
there no reasons for hard restriction. However values near zero seems
not very useful. I do not think we should change this. Note about Qemu
is enough.

Granularity is calculated as
granularity = 1 << granularity_bits
