sry for delay..

the thing is, that we can already do that via record command:
  perf record -e "cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/" ls

but this option is in perf mem command, which provides
the way to use short config:
   $ perf mem record --ldlat 50 ls

and adds also '-W -d' options for record command:

  $ ./perf mem record -v --ldlat 50 ls 
  calling: record -W -d -e cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=50/P ls
