Assuming you fix the logic of the condition, the error message is still
wrong (you allow 512, not just greater than 512).

Do you still need to call out the command, given that it is the only
client of this type?

Is it worth using type inheritance, as in:

{ 'type': 'BlockDirtyBitmapAdd',
  'base': 'BlockDirtyBitmap',
  'data': { '*granularity': 'int' } }

s/explaining message/explanation/ (or even ditch the error mentions;
fewer commands are bothering with it these days)

Pad out the --- to the length of the command name.

Inconsistent on whether you use trailing '.'
