you can use for k, v in sorted(kwargs.items()):
and use then v instead of kwargs[k]

I think that trying to apply text filters to object should be fixed first.

no, you can't use dict as a parameter to constructor, as dict is not ordered,
use tuple of tuples, like OrderedDict((('execute': cmd), ('execute': ...)))

and I prefere fixing the thing, that we do json.dumps both in log() and 
qmp_log() before
this patch.

Also: so, we move all qmp_log callers to new logic (through sorting by hand 
with ordered_kwargs),
and it works? Then, maybe, move all log callers to new logic, and get rid of 
json.dumps at all,
to have one path instead of two?
