I wouldn't mind an assertion that granularity is a multiple of
BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE, along with a comment that explains that this is
required so that we avoid rounding problems when dealing with the bitmap
functions.

blockdev_mirror_common() does already check this, but it feels like it's
a bit far away from where the actual problem would happen in the mirror
job code.

Why have the unrelated bdrv_get_backing_filename() between the two
assignments of s->target_cluster_size? Or actually, wouldn't it be
even easier to read with an else branch?

    if (!bdrv_get_info(target_bs, &bdi) && bdi.cluster_size) {
        s->target_cluster_size = bdi.cluster_size;
    } else {
        s->target_cluster_size = BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE;
    }

None of these comments are critical, so anyway:
