The i2c-powermac driver doesn't support arbitrary multi-message I2C
transactions, only SMBus ones. Make it clear by returning an error if
a multi-message I2C transaction is attempted. This is better than only
processing the first message, because most callers won't recover from
the short transaction. Anyone wishing to issue multi-message
transactions should use the SMBus API instead of the raw I2C API.
