This is not a problem. My original proposal was to mirror the struct 
i2c_msg.
The code you looked at was based on that.
However, the virtio TC prefer not to mirror it. They have some concerns.
For example, there is a bit I2C_M_RD in i2c_msg.flag which has the same 
meaning with
the R/W in virtio descriptor. This is a repetition which may cause problems.
So the virtio_i2c_out_hdr.flags is used to instead of i2c_msg.flags for 
extension.

You can check this link 
https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/issues/88 to learn the whole story.
There are discussions about the spec (v1 ~ v7).

I'm updating these drivers step by step to make sure they finally follow 
the spec.
