bitmap questions

Hi,

I have a question on how bitmap works and what's shown in /proc/mdstat, for 
example:

md2 : active raid10 sdc3[0] sdd3[3] sdb3[2] sda3[1]
      60002560 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/4] [UUUU]
      bitmap: 1/1 pages [4KB], 65536KB chunk

- 1 bitmap for 4096 chunks

- if it shows 0/1 pages [0KB] what does it actually mean? Does that mean that 
in case of resync it will resync _all_ 4096 chunks in that page or only chunks 
that require that (for example 7 chunks) ?

- if it will resync all 4096 chunks what's the point of even allowing 1 page 
setup (via mdadm)?

Thanks!
