I thought you wanted the miss event?
That would be the second entry.
ALL_LOADS is the access event. it works for me, both raw and perf cooked (not sure why the two numbers are different though)
% perf stat -e dTLB-loads,r81d0 -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
12,685,064 dTLB-loads [100.00%] 13,277,367 r81d0
1.001420860 seconds time elapsed
Miss event count too:
perf stat -e dTLB-load-misses,dTLB-load -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
19,504 dTLB-load-misses # 0.30% of all dTLB cache hits [100.00%] 6,471,308 dTLB-load
1.001894328 seconds time elapsed
Same raw:
perf stat -e r0108 -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
82,285 r0108
1.001353060 seconds time elapsed

Both works for me on a IvyBridge.

Shouldn't be needed.
PEBS for counting normally doesn't make much sense.
