44-32-24 setup on a 10-speed MTB

[Bugsy]

My Merida currently has a 42-32-24 SLX configuration in front and a 36-11 XT at the back, and as I have to now replace the cassette, chain and big blade, I am thinking about either getting a slightly bigger blade up front (ie. 44-32-24). I however do not seem to find such a setup on a 10 speed - only 9 speed Shimano's have a 44t blade.

Is it at all possible to achieve this setup with Shimano/similar fitting parts?

I use SRAM chainrings on my XT Crank. SRAM has a 44t 10speed chainring. That may work. Double and triple check before buying.
