Rain & Waterfall

I was browsing some web pages on CPU cooling and I found a reference to two
programs called rain and waterfall. They claim to lower your CPU's temp by
up to 30 C and in some cases, extend the power on a laptops battery by up to
30 minutes.

The FAQ says they do this by sending the HLT command to idle parts of the
CPU, thereby putting them into suspend mode causing them to stop generating
heat.

Has anyone thought of implementing such a thing in the linux kernel? Their
webpage is:
