I think the patch is simpler to follow if I only do the strictly
necessary changes and don't mix them with other things.

Yes, same as before.

I went through all cases, I think I didn't miss any!

This is used by qcow2_measure() and is fixed on a later patch because,
unlike all other cases, it does not use a BlockDriverState to determine
the size of an L2 entry.

That wouldn't be a bad thing I guess but, again, for a separate patch or
series.

I think most/all nowadays only refer to the number of bits per byte.

Maybe there's a couple that still need to be fixed, but we have been
removing a lot of numeric literals from the qcow2 code (see for example
b6c246942b, 3afea40243 or a35f87f50d).
