Why are you checking whether the bitmap is enabled here in 
bdrv_set_dirty_bitmap(), but neither in bdrv_reset_dirty_bitmap() nor 
bdrv_clear_dirty_bitmap()?

It seems consistent with the commit message which only states that 
disabled state means that no more writes (i.e. bdrv_set_dirty_bitmap()) 
will be tracked, but it still seems strange to me.

Same question as above, only this time it's about bdrv_reset_dirty().

In case the answer to the question is "that's intentional":
