Because it's simpler if userspace can just take the entire list from 
KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST and pass it to KVM_GET/SET_MSR.  See for example 
vcpu_save_state and vcpu_load_state in 
tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/x86_64/processor.c.

It can't for now, because there's a single dynamic feature, but here:

+	if ((xfd & xcr0) != xcr0) {
+		u64 request = (xcr0 ^ xfd) & xcr0;
+		struct fpu_guest *guest_fpu = &vcpu->arch.guest_fpu;
+
+		/*
+		 * If requested features haven't been enabled, update
+		 * the request bitmap and tell the caller to request
+		 * dynamic buffer reallocation.
+		 */
+		if ((guest_fpu->user_xfeatures & request) != request) {
+			vcpu->arch.guest_fpu.realloc_request = request;
+			return true;
+		}
+	}

it is certainly possible to return true with nonzero XFD.
