"19 IbsOpCntCtl: periodic op counter count control. Revision B:
Reserved. Revision C: Read-write. Reset 0b. 1=Count dispatched ops
0=Count clock cycles."

It's here:

MSRC001_1033 IBS Execution Control Register (IbsOpCtl)
http://support.amd.com/us/Processor_TechDocs/31116.pdf

Ok, it might not be quite clear that "dispatched ops" is related to
EventSelect 0C1h Retired uops, but there is an exact mapping.
