Of that list you had earlier:

MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.STLB_MISS_LOADS
MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.STLB_MISS_STORES
MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOCK_LOADS
MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.SPLIT_LOADS
MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.SPLIT_STORES
MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.ALL_LOADS
MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.ALL_STORES

There's only 4 loads and (as you already said) 3 stores.

That's 7 events total, that's not nearly a full list.

The other events:

UOPS_RETIRED.ALL
MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED.L1_HIT
MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED.L2_HIT
MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED.L3_HIT
MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED.L1_MISS
MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED.L2_MISS
MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED.L3_MISS
MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED.HIT_LFB
MEM_LOAD_UOPS_L3_HIT_RETIRED.XSNP_MISS
MEM_LOAD_UOPS_L3_HIT_RETIRED.XSNP_HIT
MEM_LOAD_UOPS_L3_HIT_RETIRED.XSNP_HITM
MEM_LOAD_UOPS_L3_HIT_RETIRED.XSNP_NONE
MEM_LOAD_UOPS_L3_MISS_RETIRED.LOCAL_DRAM

are unclear on their type and should indeed be NA.
