cool, Thanks for the help.. not sure if this is correct, but I had to 
shutdown one of the cores, then execute the cammand to get any response..:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
modprobe cpu-notifier-error-inject cpu_up_prepare_error=-2
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

[ 4205.955592] Injecting error (-2) at cpu notifier
[ 4205.955601] _cpu_up: attempt to bring up CPU 1 failed

so it is working!
