This series adds support for running valgrind against U-Boot's internal malloc. This allows for much more useful reports to be generated.
Some example output of valgrind run against u-boot/master with this branch applied may be found at [1]. Note that valgrind gives up around acpi. This feature still needs a lot of work on suppressions/hints to filter out the noise properly.

Changes in v3: - Fix some warnings by converting some macros to use VALGRIND_DO_CLIENT_REQUEST_STMT - Fix an additional rEALLOc branch missing VALGRIND_RESIZEINPLACE_BLOCK
Changes in v2: - Fix one branch of rEALLOc missing a VALGRIND_*_BLOCK call - Add some additional suppressions for cALLOc and rEALLOc - Simplify calloc clearing logic - Drop incorrect sbrk patch
