Both are crap.
If anything its an PEBS alias, we have infrastructure for that, yet you
invent new things.
You do random things like only :pp for no apparent reason.
PDIR is only supported on a single counter, regular PEBS 'instructions'
events allow for 4+ counters. Therefore a direct substitution is not
valid.
