I already exposed it in the Haswell patchkit (instructions-p)

I also exposed precise there so that some events can be forced PEBS

If you want to expose it on Sandy Bridge too you need to add the 
event to the user tool grammar, like I did for precise.

Then user can just use

perf record -e instructions-p ...

and the kernel does automagically the right thing.
