Did not work,
     echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
     -su: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

However
     echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
did not return an error ( but still only CPU0 seen)

Interesting experiment: I have hibernated and then woke up - and still 
only CPU0. I was expecting that after the power cycle the hotplug will 
bring CPU1 up...
