Are you talking about dump_load_data()?

You get:
   - load instruction addr
   - load data address
   - latency
   - data source

How do you display the load instruction address? Just using plain perf report?
How do you display the load data addresses?

But what's certainly more interesting if to get an output that shows
the correlation between the load and data addresses.
