For what kernel version?
There are some patches to enable CPU hotswap on/off,
but they aren't integrated into any released kernel yet.
They are being changed very much, but should end up in Linux 2.5
fairly soon, but I don't really recommend using this just yet.

I don't know of any other dynamic CPU on/off tools.
For now, I think that you are better off with static
CPU control.
