It's not equivalent. The old interface enables all xfeatures allowed by
guest perm while the new one just enables feature bits according to
the caller request. It also becomes a more general interface instead of
being only for conservative expansion. Since both points in the old
comment don't hold now and this function is obvious, we didn't put
a comment here (on par with other KVM helpers in that block).

If still necessary we could add one like below:

/*
  * fpu_enable_guest_xfd_features - Enable xfeatures for guest fpu container
  * @guest_fpu:         Pointer to the guest FPU container
  * @xfeatures:         Features requested by the caller
  *
  * Enable dynamic xfeatures and expand guest fpstate buffer accordingly.
  * KVM should call this function before the requested xfeatures are used
  * by the guest.
  *
  * Return: 0 on success, error code otherwise
  */
