This is a funny (and often asked) feature request. By the way, do you also expect it to do something useful with the CPU time? If you're happy with just using more power and to generate heat as 4.0 did it, yes, that is possible. If you think about faster emulation, no, we did not drop some kind of parallelization, we just drop a busy loop.
There is an easy way to use 4 cores with dolphin: Start dolphin 4 times in parallel. You'll see, all 4 instances together have a higher FPS.
There is also an easy way to have a full CPU utilization: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/
