More applications/libraries for N900 which running on Maemo 5
system. Some of them are Nokia proprietary, some of them are open

Basically problem is that non DT boot provides this info in
/proc/cpuinfo:

Revision : 0012
New DT boot provides this:
Hardware : Generic OMAP3 (Flattened Device Tree)
Revision : 0000
