My "hack" was only for the uncore, the regular Ivybridge events have been 
supported properly for some time.

You can look at the results in Table VI
of my recent ISPASS paper
 
  
http://web.eece.maine.edu/~vweaver/projects/deterministic/ispass2013_deterministic.pdf

and see that x87 fp results using the undocumented events on IVB match 
pretty well with SNB.  The SSE results do not though.  And as for
SIMD_FP_256 I don't think I have any AVX test code handy.

It's not easy to re-add those events to PAPI though because libpfm4 
doesn't support them.
