there's a typo somewhere: it's References, not Referencees.

btw., these names should be shortened somehow.

Instruction-TLB-Cache-Prefetch-Referencees could become:

  iTLB-prefetch-refs

Data-TLB-Cache-Store-Referencees could become:

  dTLB-store-refs

etc. (You might want to send us a list of abbreviations first, 
before coding it, to avoid unnecessary work - it will need a few 
iterations.)

The long versions should be recognized too, if someone prefers those 
(i.e. our alias detection should be extensive and permissive), but 
the names we _display_ should be short.
