[PATCH] 2/7 Fix potential NULL pointer

From: Martin J. Bligh (mbligh@aracnet.com)

translation_table could be unintialised on machines other than NUMA-Q.
You never see this, as the compiler happens to optimise it away, but
it's still a Really Bad Idea (tm). Thanks to someone whose name I have
unfortunately forgotten for pointing this out.

Has been tested in my tree for over two weeks on UP, SMP, and NUMA and
compile tested against a variety of different configs.
