Yeah, that's where the pain comes in. While QAPI schema can be made conditional on a few CONFIG_* parameters - basically those derived from global configure time options, it is impossible for this to be with with target specific options like the device CONFIG_* defines. This is why I suggested in my othuer reply that it would need to be done with a generic 'info dev-debug' / 'x-query-dev-debug' command that can be registered unconditionally, and then individual devices plug into it.
