[Bug 1501545] Re: Valgrind fails on rdrand when the cpu supports it (haswell)

[Dr. Jens Rosenboom]

Installing valgrind 1:3.12.0~svn20160714-1ubuntu2 from yakkety onto my
xenial machine seems to resolve the issue, too. But probably including
the patch from https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353370#c9 will be
easier than doing an update in xenial, right?
