Hi Michael,

We never pass a value for offset, nor do we need to, so remove the
offset logic.
The idea behind all these effort is to come up with a common script for alpha,
ia64, m68k, microblaze, mips, parisc, powerpc, sh, sparc and xtensa. If I'm
right, ia64 and mips pass offset and rest of the architecture doesn't. Inorder
to come up with a offset logic to accommodate those 2 archs requirements.

I think x86, arm and s390 can use the same support with minor changes. So
prefix also need to use it.

I already create a patch series for powerpc with unified script. the changes u
suggested will make difficult to make unified script.

Thanks
Firoz
