Well that surprised me too when I was setting up my laptop; My machine 
automatically used a kernel config with SMP on and 'device cpufreq' in 
it. The Kernel's ident is 'GENERIC'; I didn't edit anything in the 
GENERIC config file. But I'm not sure if cpufreq is loaded by default on 
any machine, seems to be unnecessary to me at first glance.

I'm not sure If I understand/understood completely what you meant but no 
special. I didn't see any bios options to change CPU-speed of any kind. 
It's more an overview of system specifications as far as I could see. 
Only a couple options to edit basic settings as boot sequence, 
wifi-enable, blootooth enable etc.
