Ok, so in the test suite you likely should do something
approximately like

#ifdef CONFIG_QPL
  if (access("/dev/iax", R_OK|W_OK) == 0) {
    migration_test_add("/migration/multifd/tcp/plain/qpl",
                       test_multifd_tcp_qpl);
  }
#endif

possibly more if you need to actually query supported features
of /dev/iax before trying to use it
