At the time vpmu is developed, model 15 and model 23 are the only two models that are supported. The vpmu is designed to work with model-specific hanlding code. But actually no one adds new support for newer generation of CPUs. I do not know how much differences between Core 2 PMU and Core i7. If you only collect performance data using architectural performance counters and events, I think it would be easy for you to hack the code in vpmu_initialize a bit to get it work.
