The meta bitmap will have the same size and granularity as the tracked

No, meta bitmap should not have same granularity. If we have 16tb
storage, then 16kb granulated bitmap will occupy more then 128 mb.
And additional meta bitmap of the same size and granularity is
redundant 128+ mb of RAM, when actually we need meta bitmap for
blocks for example of 1mb and it should occupy about 128 bits.
Makes sense, do you prefer a parameterized granularity, or a fixed scaling like
one bit for 1 word?

Parametrized is better I thing. We will be able easily change it. Also as John writes it may be that it should be different for persistance/migration..
