Note that this is utterly trivial; just add a Build-Dependency on valgrind,
and the build system will take care of the rest. My understanding is that
this has zero impact on runtime performance; it just adds a few very short
instruction sequences after each DRM allocation, only picked up when running
under Valgrind.
I tried rebuilding with the b-d in question, and indeed, the torrent of
Valgrind errors went away almost entirely.

It looks as if libdrm2 is already built with Valgrind support.
