Mmmh, I would say "program"...

How many governors are explained in this sentence?
Only one?
If this is the case, I would say
"This cpufreq governor sets the frequency statically to the"

In British English, "programme" refers to a television
schedule, "program" refers to something a computer runs, see:
http://www.chambersharrap.co.uk/chambers/chref/chref.py/main?query=programme&title=21st

Americans use "program" for everything, so using programme here is wrong
for everyone ;-)

to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince 
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
