Thanks.
I was unaware that a constant was for compiler optimization. 
It seems that 'num' is more readable compared to a constant. And 'virtqueue_add_*' 
does not specify that only one buf is added, but ‘1’ is passed in ‘virtqueue_add’, 
which limits the function of 'virtqueue_add_*'. Besides compilation optimization, 
are there any other considerations.
