The canonical information source is the autopkgtest spec: 
https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/-/blob/master/doc/README.package-tests.rst

"""
isolation-machine

    The test wants to interact with the kernel, reboot the machine, or 
other things which fail in a simple schroot and even a container. Those 
tests need to be run in their own machine/VM (e. g. 
autopkgtest-virt-qemu or autopkgtest-virt-null). When running the test 
in a virtualization server which does not provide this it will be skipped.

My advice is, add an isolation-machine restriction.
