Dunno, I only saw valgrind complaints in local_ts_node_16_search_eq,
and Tomas reported the same.
It seems moderately likely to me that this is a bug in aarch64
valgrind. Still, if it is that then people will have to deal with it
for awhile yet. It won't cost us anything meaningful to work around
it (he says, without having done actual measurements...)
