Not a huge fan of doing a helper for this single use, but I guess it
does make the main function easier to code. So I guess that's fine. But
can you move the call down where the result is checked?

qe = blk_lookup_qe_pair(head, q);
if (!qe)
return;

I prefer no distance between call and check, makes it easier to read. I
can make the edit locally and note it in the commit message so you don't
have to re-send it. Let me know, or just resend a v3.
