Valgrind support in OpenBMC

[Xo Wang]

What BMC processor are you targeting? If it's ASPEED AST2400/2500,
then it's an ARMv6 processor and like that recipe file says...

# valgrind supports armv7 and above
COMPATIBLE_HOST_armv4 = 'null'
COMPATIBLE_HOST_armv5 = 'null'
COMPATIBLE_HOST_armv6 = 'null'

cheers
