Where is the point of this? dL1-loads is a completely non intuitive
artificial abbreviation.
 
Changing "L1-data-Cache-Load-Referencees" to "L1-dcache-loads" or
something similar provides a short but sufficiently self explaining
explanation of the counter.

I don't want to use a abbreviations dictionary to decode a perf
report.

Thanks,
