Would be good to see what the output looks like.

What I haven't seen; and what I would find most useful; is using the IP
+ dwarf info to map it back to a data structure member.

Since you're already using the PEBS data-source fields, you can also
have a precise IP. For many cases its possible to reconstruct the exact
data member the instruction is modifying.

At that point you can do pahole like output of data structures, showing
which members are 'hot' on misses etc.
