from O(n^2) to O(n)

I think one of Michael's suggestions was that you may still want
qmp_command_is_enabled, but with a new signature:

bool qmp_command_is_enabled(const QmpCommand *cmd)
{
    return cmd->enabled;
}

This is C, not C++.  The cast is not necessary.

I guess it all depends on whether we want QmpCommand to be an opaque
type outside of a single file.  But I don't have a strong argument for
making it opaque, and your approach works if we don't mind exposing the
details of QmpCommand across multiple files.  So I can live with your
patch as-is.

Again, the cast is not necessary.

Overall, I like the patch.  Just a few tweaks suggested, but I can live
with you adding:
