We've had FxOS valgrind support for over a year, though it does require me manually updating the repo (which I'm hoping to do this week). However, that was only for the Nexus 4/5 because they were the only things with enough RAM. The new valgrind work on the flame is happening because (from my understanding) we have more control over the kernel and therefore can possibly operate in 1gb.
