Any reason we must abbreviate instead of spelling this out as Table?

While there are multiple 'zeros' in the code base, 'zeroes' appears to 
be the more common spelling.

Missing a '(since 5.0)' tag.  Interesting choice of name; not one I 
would have picked out of the air.  Would 'metadata' be any more of a 
reasonable name?

The field is listed as optional, but the docs don't describe what 
controls whether it is present or absent.  Is that worth adding?

Thank you Eric for your comments. The reason for the abbreviation is 
that the name 'Qcow2BitmapTable' is in conflict with the existing 
structure name in block/qcow2-bitmap.c. I can rename it to 
'Qcow2BitmapTableInfo'

and to 'Qcow2BitmapTableInfoEntry' here.
