Nowadays compilers optimize this away already, but no need to initialize 
.bss stuff to zero anyway.

Weird first parameter => swapmodifiers.

Maybe this should rather be a bool instead of uint.

This might go into .rodata, right? => const

Anyway this is not feasible to do in this patch. Would you like to post 
a followup patch which will also modify the functions which use the 
translation tables?
