PATCH 1/1 2/7 Fix potential NULL pointer

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.
