You removed page_offset calculation in rework.
I am unable to understand that how arm64_mem.page_offset will be filled up now
for binary image case.

I think, we still need to keep page_offset user input. You may take following
two patches which does this, or you may leave binary image support patch which I
will send after your patches are merged.
