"Sparse" may have been the wrong word to use. I was implying sparse
enough that if I add command N+1 I don't need to be careful where I
put it in mem_commands, but still be able to rely on lookups into
mem_commands being indexed by the command-id.

I'm expecting the command distribution to be mostly uniform, it's more
of the lookup property that I think would be useful especially for the
dynamic case of walking mem_commands to update it relative to what the
hardware supports or other metadata. Speaking of which I think @enable
should be turned into @flags of which 'enable' is one, in case we want
to define more flags in the future.

How / why would the application by looking at @name for UAPI compatibility?

I don't think the name lookup would be sparse. i.e. it would be ok for
mem_commands to not have an entry for everything in the name lookup
table. As for defining the table it could use C preprocessor trick
popularized by Steven Rostedt:
#define CMDS \
C(CMD1, "command one"), \
C(CMD2, "command two") \
#undef C
#define C(a, b) a
enum commands_enum { CMDS };
#undef C
#define C(a, b) { b }
static struct {
const char *name;
} commands[] = { CMDS };
#undef C
...then there's no way for the command ids to get out of sync with the names.
