I suspect you wrote "field(s)" since there can be more than one
dirty-bitmaps[i]. But it still sound funny; within a single
dirty-bitmaps[i], there is only one field being deprecated. Dropping the
'(s)' makes this subsection read better to me.

That's minor enough that a maintainer could fix it, if you don't have
any other reason to spin v4.
