There is no perfmon2.x support in the SLES10 kernel. There is only the support that is present in the mainline 2.6.16 kernel. The former is exercised by the examples tests and the later by the old_ia64_examples tests. This should all be transparantly handled by the library. Does pfmon work? There is perfmon 2.x support in SLES11 *but* you need to use SLES kernels and SLES userspace packages. Trying to rebuild libpfm from source to use alongside the SLES kernel or building your own kernel with the perfmon2.x kernel patch together with SLES userspace packages will not work. Hopefully this clears things up from the SuSE standpoint? If not, feel free to e-mail me directly.
