I think all of these variants are valid with pros and cons
1. teach valgrind about this:
Add to coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-linux.c (and the relevant header files)
knowledge about which parts are actually touched.
2. use designated initializers
3. use memset
3. use a valgrind callback VG_USERREQ__MAKE_MEM_DEFINED to tell that this memory is defined
