The API docs describe i2c_transfer() as taking a pointer to an array
of i2c_msg containing at least 1 entry, but leaves it to the individual
drivers to sanity check the msgs and num parameters. Let's do this in
core code instead.

Looks good but I want to test it myself, so I will include it in my
second pull request later.
