Thanks for testing!

Yes you can test it quickly using top mode for example:

kldload hwpmc
pmccontrol -L to list all events

some test:

- offcore
pmcstat -SOFF_CORE_RESPONSE_0,rsp=REQ_DMND_DATA_RD+RES_ANY -w1 -T

- unhalted cycle (programmable counter)
pmcstat -n2000000 -SCPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD_P -w4 -T

- INSTR_RETIRED_ANY (fixed counter)
pmcstat -n2000000 -S INSTR_RETIRED_ANY -w4 -T

- Soft counter:
pmcstat -SPAGE_FAULT.ALL -w4 -T

all at the same time (and change view by pressing 'p':
pmcstat -SOFF_CORE_RESPONSE_0,rsp=REQ_DMND_DATA_RD+RES_ANY -n2000000 -SCPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD_P   -n2000000 -S INSTR_RETIRED_ANY -SPAGE_FAULT.ALL -w1 -T


all events are described in the man page pmc.ivybridge
