I'm a little confused. By dtlb-write-ops, do you want to count the
number of times that DTLB is accessed due to store operations or the
number of times that DTLB entries are written to, i.e. updated?

Btw, do you know whether virtual cache is employed or not on
atom/core2/nehalem so that tlb won't be accessed when accessing l1
caches?
