I agree, I think we need something like you suggested i.e.

+	ttm_pool_init(&bdev->pool, dev, dev ? dev_to_node(dev) : NUMA_NO_NODE,
+		      use_dma_alloc, use_dma32);


I am not quite sure if the above node_has_cpu change will be a better 
solution in general, along with the NULL pointer check as you suggested. 
If you prefer that, then I can send a fix otherwise, your fix looks good 
to me.
