Thanks

Most kudos though (if not all), should go to T. Janjusic. I just found 
it and backported to the latest stable:

Sure, it is a good idea.

I just did a quick&dirty import of the latest stable release 3.10.0. No 
git-svn , or anything fancy (github import failed, silently ignoring 
files...)  no gitignore too. And then I applied the patch:

https://github.com/bisdn/valgrind-hugepages

Please note the comment in README.md, I cannot provide any support or 
take any responsibility. We will also delete this repo once there is a 
stable release.

But you can at least try it, should work ;)

It already is, there is simply no stable release yet (see Phillipe comment):
