I played with this today and arrived to these conclusions:
* Having 'l' or 'p' prefix without # or any other special character is
very confusing since we already have things like L1 for cache levels and
P for proc numbers
* Having nothing before the number is a bad idea, it would be confusing
with cache/misc levels
* I like '#' as a prefix since it's widely used as a symbol meaning
"number" and I found no other nice character

So I see two solutions:
* p#2 and l#2 (prefixed with a space)

$ utils/lstopo -                    
Machine(1509MB) + Socket l#0 + L2 l#0(2048KB)
  L1 l#0(32KB) + Core l#0 + P l#0
  L1 l#1(32KB) + Core l#1 + P l#1
$ utils/lstopo - -p
Machine(1509MB) + Socket p#0 + L2(2048KB)
  L1(32KB) + Core p#0 + P p#0
  L1(32KB) + Core p#1 + P p#1

* #2p and #2l

$ utils/lstopo - -l
Machine(1509MB) + Socket#0l + L2#0l(2048KB)
  L1#0l(32KB) + Core#0l + P#0l
  L1#1l(32KB) + Core#1l + P#1l
$ utils/lstopo - -p                 
Machine(1509MB) + Socket#0p + L2(2048KB)
  L1(32KB) + Core#0p + P#0p
  L1(32KB) + Core#1p + P#1p


I think I prefer the latter.
