This patch looks fine for me.

However, I did not find the 'memory_ref_char' field is set for Arm64.
Later patches even remove the condition checking for mem_ref() and
unconditionally invoke extract_reg_offset().

This is a logic change for me.  Shouldn't the register offset be
extracted only for memory access instructions?
