My python is weak, but I did apply this patch (or rather, used Paolo's
rebase of this patch) to test the generated files.

At this point, I'm interested in seeing the series go in sooner rather
than later, and my findings below are minor enough that I'm okay fixing
them in a followup patch rather than waiting for a respin of the whole
series.

Your patch fails to update .gitignore for the new generated files:

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        qapi-event.c
        qapi-event.h

As of this commit, no events using qapi_event_send are generated yet.
I'm trusting that this code works, but I reserve the right to revisit
this patch later once I look at later patches and see what the generated
code is doing there.  But for now, the generated code has merely:

const char *QAPIEvent_lookup[] = {
    NULL,
};

which looks correct, even if a bit sparse :)

s/ now// - we don't EVER want to support nested structures in events
(for that matter, I've been arguing in other threads that we want to
completely ditch support for nested structures to simplify the generator
code-base and make it possible to cleanly support argument defaults).

Of course, if you tweak the message above, you'll also have to tweak
this test.  But thanks for adding a test!

Since I'm okay saving the cleanups mentioned above for a followup-patch,
and assuming I don't revisit this file:
