Support running QEMU on Valgrind
Valgrind is a tool which can automatically detect many kinds of bugs.
Running QEMU on Valgrind with x86_64 hosts was not possible because
Valgrind aborts when memalign is called with an alignment larger than
1 MiB. QEMU normally uses 2 MiB on Linux x86_64.
Now the alignment is reduced to the page size when QEMU is running on
Valgrind.
v2:
Instead of using the macro RUNNING_ON_VALGRIND from valgrind.h,
the patch now uses a hack from libvirt which tests for the pre-loaded
vgpreload_*.so shared libraries. This avoids the need for valgrind.h.
