That's a better name. I'm OK with that.

We need the number for virtio_i2c_complete_reqs to do cleanup. We don't 
have to

do cleanup "num" times every time. Just do it as needed.

This function will return the number of requests being successfully 
prepared and make sure

resources of the failed request being freed. And 
virtio_i2c_complete_reqs will free the

resources of those successful request.

It's right here just because the &reqs[i] will never be NULL in our 
case. But if you see

"virtio_i2c_complete_reqs" as an independent function, you need to check the

req. From the perspective of the callee, you can't ask the caller always 
give you

the non-NULL parameters. And some tools may give warnings.
