Not really. I once tried to introduce an iterator macro, but it was
refused. The above is just more compact.
But this is only a minor nit.

Generally, we try to avoid those pointless casts.

The separate registration looks strange to me. And the fact that you
don't need to object doesn't justify a callback of its own.

That's the host-guest interface. But I'm talking about the kvm-qemu
interface here which has no relation to how the "was paused" information
is transferred to the guest.
