Great,  i've quickly looked at the patch:

I'm not sure to understand why you have removed code in your case for =
uncore.
If you dont want to support remove it like for ivy bridge.=20

some minor:
+#define sandybridge_xeon_aliases	core2_aliases
+#define sandybridge_xeon_aliases_without_iaf	=
core2_aliases_without_iaf

+	case PMC_CPU_INTEL_SANDYBRIDGE_XEON:
+		pmc_class_table[n++] =3D &ucf_class_table_descr;
+		pmc_class_table[n++] =3D =
&sandybridgeuc_class_table_descr;
+		PMC_MDEP_INIT_INTEL_V2(sandybridge_xeon);
+		break;

 keep this sorted.

Seems you need to double check the event list:

"pmcstat: ERROR: Cannot allocate process-mode pmc with specification =
"L2_L1D_WB_RQSTS.MISS": Invalid argument"

map to 28 01 which is not in the table:
     IAPDESCR(28H, 0x28, IAP_M_CORE | IAP_M_MESI, IAP_F_ALLCPUSCORE2),
     IAPDESCR(28H_01H, 0x28, 0x01, IAP_F_FM | IAP_F_I7 | IAP_F_WM | =
IAP_F_IB),
     IAPDESCR(28H_02H, 0x28, 0x02, IAP_F_FM | IAP_F_I7 | IAP_F_WM),
-    IAPDESCR(28H_04H, 0x28, 0x04, IAP_F_FM | IAP_F_I7 | IAP_F_WM | =

-    IAPDESCR(28H_08H, 0x28, 0x08, IAP_F_FM | IAP_F_I7 | IAP_F_WM | =

Not related but need to be investigated. (I will look at it.)
