The importances of libqemu is:

Adding to this C wrappers for QMP commands threatens to make QMP command
arguments part of the library ABI.  Compatible QMP evolution (like
adding an optional argument) turns into a libqmp soname bump.
Counter-productive.  How do you plan to avoid that?

You could make the API use QObjects; then you're completely isolated from high level protocol changes. Of course, this is less useful than the full API.
